yep I just looked at mine
ok so I need some guidance from the guys who have done this - keeping in mind my car is NA
I really want to use AN's and not standard vacuum hose. Can anyone think of a clean way to do this, preferably without removing the valvecovers (since I literally just did new gaskets a couple thousand miles ago and I'd hate to have to get new ones again)? Passenger side is easy since pcv unscrews and I can get a fitting to thread in it's place
I'll just leave the crossover between the 2 valvecovers with the stock hose, can't see it anyway

There is no good way to add an AN fitting to the drivers side without pulling the cover and cutting off the nipple, and drilling/tapping a larger hole.
BTW, I have reused my old valve cover gaskets for years with no problems, at least on my personal car. For customers I always use new.

gotcha, thanks Chris
I had a valvecover leak on my passenger side that just got fixed, so I don't really feel like risking it again I'll figure something out and post here

removed the california emission bs PCV system all together, install catch can...cranked up boost and timing, she ran great after that.
After 6psi the PCV system starts negatively working as in the air going back the wrong way. Installing a check valve only makes the boost go to the other side of the system, either way if it can bleed off because boost is on the other side of the check valve, then excessive crank case pressure is going to be evident.
FYI
***edit*** lol some catch cans have a small vent hole to avoide excessive pressure in themselves which also aid the entire crank system too.
