Default Need help with arc v2 catch can install on turbonetics setup!!!!

I installed the arc v2 catch can according the intructions it came with and after driving for a while, i notice white smoke coming from the exhaust. Because of the turbonetics kit, I think there might be a different way to install the arc catch can. Need to know where the hoses need to connect???

white smoke has nothing to do with a oil/catch can. Thats head gasket.

either way, you plumb it between the PCV valve and the nipple on the plenum.

it started smoking right after i installed the catch can...the driver side is connected to the intake before the turbo...i wonder if that has anything to do with it since it might sucking oil from the catch can...

white smoke is radiator fluid, not oil....

so its attached to the inlet on the turbo and then where else?

hit that 'search' button and you'll have a days worth of reading on how to set up a catch can properly.

You can do like I did, drill out the pcv and run a hose from each valve cover to the can, and vent to atmosphere through a small K&N filter.
