Default Thought of a cool place to mount Cusco/Greddy oil catch cans

I just installed my new Cusco oil catch can. With the way my turbo kit is plumbed, and where certain stock components are relocated, there just wasn't a very good place to mount this thing, and I didn't want to fab up a bracket and mount it front and center, so I came up with this.....









There was plenty of room in there, and I could easily put the cover back on if I wanted to, but I kinda like it better with the covers removed; looks more like an engine bay to me

About how long did the install take you?

Also... what exactly *is* it mounted to? Or is it just wedged in there...

Wired- It took me about an hour and a half, which included running to the hardware store for extra tubing and T connections. It is mounted to a hard line coming out of the firewall with a band clamp. You can see the clamp in the pic. It's very sturdy.

Dirtroad- I ran on side to the drivers side valve cover vent, then T'd off of that to the passenger side PCV valve. I plugged the port going into the lower plenum. I'm getting vacuum from the drivers side air intake, pre-turbo.

Tig- My EBC module is mounted in the battery compartment, so I got lucky there
