Default Stillen S/C Catch Can HELP!

Well I recently purchased a Cusco Catch Can for my Stillen S/C'ed Z. I have searched this site for more info on the best spots for installation and such. Since the whole plenum is replaced and lines rerouted on this application I do not know where to run the catch can lines or where it is most needed If any of you guys have already done this mod to you Stillen S/C'ed Z please help me out, PICS would be greatly appreciated Thanks!

you don't really need a catch can because there is no way excess oil can enter the intake piping, there's no air/air intercooler setup on that car allowing for possible excess piping and oil entry via a compressor.

Finally an answer Well there are several lines which tie into the S/C's intake. The two that most concern me are: right on the intake piping, when I removed the intake I discovered some dark residue on the TB. 2nd: line running right behind the TB. Both of the lines mentioned are connected to the engine, one on each side.

catch cans are not just used on air to air ic cars! many na zs use a catch can. in fact the arc one is designed for na. there is blow by from the vacuum hose that connects to the intake pipe itself. intercooler setups have nothing to do with it.

also i dont think that with the stillen sc due to the new plenum that there is enough room to install the arc can where it normally sits.
