Default TT install, but where does this hose go??

So i just got done putting my motor back in. I was going to install my catch, but after the install, i was too tired to try and figure it out. Here is what i have left. After replacing the stock intake pipe with the Greddy TT pipe, i now have a hose that used to connect to the intake pipe that is just sitting there in the open. It's too short to connect to anything, so what do i do with it? It wont reach the driver side intake pipe off the turbo and that inlet/outlet inturn is left wide open. I know i'm supposed to connect one side of my catch to the PCV (or is it the lower collector?), but what about the other end?

EDIT: After reviewing the Greddy TT install guide online, i can see that they use an extended hose that connects the drivers side intake pipe that my used kit did not come with. Should i get a hose that will connect the two, or will my catch some how replace that line anyway? They don't have an install guide that i could find.

You need to run the PVC line from the back of the drivers side valve cover into the catch can. Then out of the catch can to the fitting on the Greddy intake pipe. The bend at the back of the motor is pretty tight so I would recommend that you keep the stock hose and use a duel barbed fitting to adapt the catch line to the OEM PVC line.

Wow... A simple explanation i can actualy understand. Thanks. Question though, why do people always mention/use the passanger side PCV? Can both be used for a catch or are people just plain doing it wrong?

The passenger side actually "catches" more oil than the driver's drive breather. It's important to make sure that the passenger side PCV hose has a vaccum attached to it. So if you intercept that line make sure it returns back to the lower plenum to insure vaccum.
