I know, this has been covered before, but i searched and searched and could not find the answer. Can anyone tell me if what I contoured in red in the following picture is the tube I have to use to install the oil catch can?
Thanks
Thanks
EDIT: deleted this post. I was not thinking right (Sorry just woke up). What I posted here would have allowed manifold pressure to enter the catchcan.

The way GMADD has his hooked up is good for a turbocharged car. His vacuum source for the catchcan is coming from the preturbo intake on the drivers side. So he never has to worry about pressure going back down the PCV. This is also good cause your providing crankcase vacuum even under full throttle, when most PCV systems would not be in effect.
There will still be a little oil getting into the intake ports under cruising / vacuum since his passenger side hose is still connected... but with a healthy engine it will not be much and under boost its not likely to get much if any at all in the intake there. It will also ensure decent PCV vacuum under light engine load when the preturbo intake is not going to be providing much vacuum at all.
Ultimately, after more consideration, I think I would skip my first post here and go with how GMADD has it.. and leave the passenger side PCV to intake manifold line alone.

I cant remember what APS does with the driver side PCV, i think they did it just like greddy and just ran it into the pipe before the turbo.. so use that as your catchcan vacuum and use the PCV outlet under the throttlebody as your crankcase outlet.
