Did yours not come with instructions? The instruction included are very thorough.

Make sure the holes on the top hat are closed off (weld) or you will smell oil vapors..And it helps to collect the manifold vapors if you connect a vac line to the can..This also requires an additional hole and port welded to the can. AAM sells it with the holes welded and a port added..Good luck

You don't HAVE to do that unless you're running FI.

If you have manifold vapors going into the can , they will escape into the engine bay and into the car...How do you capture and keep them in the can???

Does anyone know if the new design(V2) rectified this?

It does look pretty nice. I'm thinking about picking up one. I've been researching as much as possible on this item. Bling is one factor, but I also want to avoid caking up my intake manifold with oil/sludge. 2 months ago I replaced my upper plenum. When I took it off, I noticed there was a nice coat of oil in there. I ended up cleaning it out with a rag, but would like to avoid this in the future.

Good luck there grasshopper. Even with my JDM searching skills, I still couldn't find anything. Not here, on the net, or on Youtube...

It's not too bad. There's two lines that are routed to the valve covers. Ones attached to the intake tube underneath. It's the only line attached. The intake manifold has an L shaped nipple. Use the associated metal extension and lines and route to the Y fitting. Everything else is self explanatory I think, maybe I should just take a pic.

Thanks vo7848 I try not to **** mods off but this one really stumped me to. Vq.turbo.dremz thanks for the reply pictures always help but if I'm getting this right the line comes from the catch can and attaches to the "y" piece, then from the "y" one line goes to the previously hooked up valve cover to intake tube and the other goes to the just the intake tube? Sound right?
