tainted, By hooking your catch can up to your throttle body, aren't you loosing vacumn between the valve cover and throttle body? Isn't the catch can is supposed to be between the valve cover and the intake piping???

Problem fixed.

I notice in some magizines that i had it wrong and changed it a wile ago.

It is connected to my intake pipes and I plugged the holes i drilled. I have a breather in the top. If you put the breather on the side, oil just fills it up and it drips everywhere.

For the record: there where no instructions and hardly a foot of hose. I had to wing it.
everything is worked out now

You can get them on eBay, Summit/Jegs, or GReddy/ARC/etc. They all do the same. It's just a different logo. And you pay for the name brand.
You should make sure you pick one with baffles (to condense the oil vapor) otherwise the vapor just goes back into your intake and the catch can is not doing anything useful.

baffles= mesh, filter, etc., anything that does not give the oil vapor a straight path from the incoming fitting to the exit fitting.

I totally agree!!! Ive never heard of an N/A needing a catch can unless there running high compression. Many of the turbo guys dont even run them. All it does is catch oil blow-by and you have to have some seroius pressure to blow by. On most the boost applications ive worked on you dont run into the that problem until like +10psi. I think its a waste of money for N/A.
