Hey guys.
Ok here's what I've done for my set up. Now it's not the best looking yet however, it does the job perfectly.
Now here's what we start with. You can see the stock lines attached to both valve covers. One line goes to the intake plenum/PVC valve and the other goes to the BOV recirculation tube that attaches to stock rubber intake on the turbo. There's also a smaller hose that connects the two valve cover breathers together.
If you do not have an atmospheric blowoff valve don't worry as you just cap the hard tube leading to the recirc hose. If you go to a local Canadian Tire, NAPA, Parts Source, ect.. you'll be able to find rubber caps that you can use. At C/T they are in a red package and the company name is HELP. There's a half isle section devoted to these HELP products so they will be easy to find. You'll see a picture of what one looks like as I have one capping my PVC Valve.
Here we go,
1. Remove all of the stock hoses from the valve cover breathers, Intake Plenum/PVC Valve and bov recirculation tube. Cap both the PVC valve and recirculation tube.
2. Using hose thats oil resistent, I just used some 3/4" braided line from Princess Auto, attach a hose to each breather using adjustable hose clamps as showin in the pic's below.

3. Now using slightly smaller 1/2 inch diameter hose (I got mine from my catch can kit) cut a piece that will join both valve cover breathers together. This hose goes across the coilpack cover.
4. Now using a "T" section that the hose will fit on to tight, attach both hoses coming from the valve cover breathers. Then using hose clamps tighten everything up.
5. Then run the hose to your catch can. Where you put it is totally up to you but I just used the space that I had by my battery.
6. You can then run the other hose back along behind the engine and actually (instead of capping) attach it back on the recirculation tube. However, I did'nt want to and lets just say the end is brething ok. :wink:
Well thats about it. The whole thing really should take you under an hour ish, give or take, and doesn't require a whole lot of mechanical know how. I do plan on the changing all the hoses to steel braided later only b/c it's part of the overall look I want under the hood however, any hose thats oil resistent will do just fine. The oil system is NOT pressurized in any way with this set up and I have NO issues.
One thing you must NOT do is attach a hose back to the PVC valve. It's only a one way valve that shuts under boost, you'll pop your dip stick out and have oil come out. Trust me know
. You can also buy a small bolt to replace the valve entirely as I will be doing too. It's not needed and becomes useless so thats why I'm gona get rid of it. Plus it'll look cleaner then having a rubber cap on it too. :P
If you have any questions, feel free to ask and I'll be more then happy to help out.
Take care.

Great post ! but my recirc. hose is already blocked by a bushing , ( cause I got a HKS SSQV bov) so should I run the hose in the recric hose anyway?
