That's the correct way for the Norris catch can. There is a sponge filter at the top inside an internal cylinder with baffle. You do need a check valve somewhere to prevent boost from getting into the crankcase (couldn't tell for sure from the pic if you had one in line).

Nice job on the install in a cold garage!

That should be some good reliable power! Nice install too and actually showing a begining and an end backed up with dyno rumbers. I can always appreciate when someone shares an install like yours and we get to hear the whole story.

I don't have a check valve, I will read up on that.

Changing belts is really easy. If you are referring to my squeal at cold startups, just remember that when you put on a new belt it will stretch a little and so you may need to re-tighten.

yes sir! I'll do the install and tuning by a PRO TUNER. Shops around my area are not familiar with the kit. They all said, get a vortech.. cheaper and higher gains I guess not to many people understand what's behind the HKS s/c
