Default Catch Can Placement Idea?

I currently bought the Greddy 9mm square catch can and had an idea of where to install it where it is out of the way for the Power Labs Gt35R single turbo set up.

Most people place the catch can in this general area. But with the Power Labs kit an cold air pipe goes right across that area.


My idea was this.


I would run the lines around the outside of the radiator and up to the Plenum.
It would be out of the way and still slightly visible.

Please let me know what you think.

I'm just wondering why you want a catch can as your first mod.

Ur PL intake/filter will be sitting in the exact spot ur catch can is sitting. A good place would be upright to the right of the PS bottle. gl!

Its not a first mod. I'm getting all the "pieces parts" for the kit. I'm attempting to do the kit as perfect as possible. Considering my last car I boosted went all wrong. This one I am going to do the right way . This is currently the planning process

The fire wall could work any suggestions on where to mount the bracket?

a catch can has to be somewhere you can get to it and empty the oil

I didn't think the filter went quite that far. But I could be wrong. I was thinking about mounting it upright down there for easier access to empty the oil and it would be out of the way of the filter. Might work might not.

Once the pipe and the filter is in place. I don't believe anything else can be there. I'd have to look at my pics. Or u can check a few PL threads for pics. But I'm almost positive you'll have to put it somewhere else.

I was actually just looking at your thread and I'm thinking behind the plenum on the fire wall makes the most sense. I'm going to have to make a bracket either way so Ill have to find somewhere to mount that.
The only problem is how easy will it be to check that?
I had one other idea but its going to take a lot more work and more money.
But it will free up a lot of space to put minor things.

When you plan on getting the PL kit? I think you should get that first then worry about ur catch can. Bcuz ur gonna have to take that stuff of anyway.

It's on back order.
I have cash on hand for it.
But I don't want to spend the cash and not have any back up money. lol
I probably will wait to install the CC but I'm trying to plan ahead of time.
My other idea was a little off the wall but could be a sweet set up in the long run.
Basically it was relocate the battery behind the drivers seat where the stock Sub normally goes or in the glove box behind the passenger seat.
Place the CC where the battery normally goes and leave room to put other minor things if needed.
Like I said a little off the wall but could be a sweet idea lol

1. Near the PS pump bracket.
2. Relocate the overflow tank.
3. Buy a different can (like the verticle ones) and place it anywhere instead.
