Default getting JAZ catch can....some questions

do I only use the tubes that went from the block to the fitting on the intake manifold (behind throttle body) or do i also use the ones going from the block behind the engine (metal tube) to the divertervalve-looking-thing that goes into the turbo inlet tube? anyone have a diagram or pictures?
TIA

Default No, you remove the one going to #28

That metal tube goes to the T right next to your red dot. Run a new hose to your catch can and plug the spot where the hose connected to the intake tube.

Default On that type you will have to plug one fitting

plus plug the spot at the intake tube where the breather used to plug into. THe reason you cant hook up the can just inline of the stock setup is because the filter will allow the turbo to suck in air that is not measured by the maf.

Default there shouldnt be a problem with....

the engine sucking in unmetered air through the PCV on the side of the engine? would i be better off getting a sealed can w/o a breather (or take the breather off the jaz one and route where the breather was to the turbo inlet tube?

Default First off there are a bunch of us running catch cans

and that includes me. YOu will not suck in air from anywhere if you install it exactly like I said. All your doing is venting pressure from the crank case instead of having it blow out into the intake tube at the turbo.
