how did i know you would catch that? i might hook another how to the intake, still debating. oh a BTW i am using the BKR7E's.... they seem to work fine.

i dont think he actually hooked it up to the actual PVC. more like an oil breather.

isnt the PCV on the left side of the motor?

This way is for giving fresh air to motor (ventiling), and the air with oil vapor pass to PCV and is connected to Intake manifold for having a permanent vacuum.

On my ep3 :

yes, but under WOT, air exits the breather, and sometimes oil too.

The best way is to go out of PCV valve, to exhaust. Exhaust make a permanent air movement and a vacuum on the added hose.

You don't have oil go out Valve cover wy you have a permanent vacuum.

If you whant, you can put a OIl Catch between PCV valve and exhaust.
