run a hose from your PCV to the catch can, then to a vaccum source.. easiest place is the nipple your PCV hose ran into.

btw how do you like the G20? I'm still trying to decide whether I want a P10 or a B13.. I want a bigger car, but the B13 looks so good.. bahh

aight man, thanks...i think i have an idea of what you're talking about, i'll try to get some help from a friend, others still feel free to chime in with advice, input, etc...

the G20, I love my G20....mainly because it was my first car, i'm a junior in college, and i've had the G20 since highschool...so it's been thru alot, and alot of transformations...it's now turbo with a bbluebird DET swap, all on the auto tranny with lsd, it's holding up fine as of now(only been over a month), i'm going with a DET torque convertor soon to see if it will save the auto tranny, i'm currently the "test dummy" for this...

the G20 is nice, gives you leather and all the other nice things of a "luxury car", plus if you boost it, like i did, all the ricers and muscle car drivers become "dumb founded" to see that you're so quick, best of both world, anyone in MD is welcome to check it out, or go for a spin in it

You know the tee that is on the driver side of the valve cover and has 2 hoses attached to it? one of them is supposed to go into your intake? well, take the hose that goes to your intake and run it to the catch can and then from the catch can to the intake pipe before the turbo.

It's too easy. You won't need pictures with what I'm about to tell you...

A. Take one hose, and run it from the Valve Cover, to the catch can. (You run it from the driver's side of the VC, where there are two nipples.) One is facing the wheel well, and the other faces the radiator. You use the one facing the wheel well.

B. Take the other nipple from the catch can, and route it to the intake arm, pre-turbo. If you don't have a nipple on the intake arm, you need to have one welded on.

Take some pics on how you are doing this... This should help people out in the future.
