Where is the best place to mount an oil catch can in the evo? I really have no idea and any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I don't think I can envy you as I have a catch can mounted already.

IMO, doesn't make a difference once the entry to the can is a little lower than the exit from the valve cover

why would that matter as there is crank pressure being relieved from those vents?

but to answer op's question: I have herd that the "correct" way to install a catch can is on the pvc side. the back side inbetween the check valve and the intake manifold. then just leave the driver side to vent to atmosphere. i have it on the driver side vent and have had it like that for years. i still dont see any oil in there through the level tube. but you can mount it anywhere you can find a bolt to attach it to.

Under the BCS is one of the best locations. There are pictures of catch can set-ups here. Use the search feature and install accordingly. Good luck.
