Catch Can installation

I've searched all over and can not find this anywhere. I remember reading a while back that there were several members that installed this. Can someone please post a pic of the setup?

Thanks

Post a diagram of the engine topside of the PCV system preferably from WIS. I can use MS paint to draw the lines and show you how in about 2 minutes.

I don't know if the C32 is the exact same setup as the V8s. I can't really tell from those pics either. The diagram below is what I was talking about showing the PCV system, and now that I recall there was a long post here about C32 catch can install. I would just search that one.

That pic is of a 3.2L motor, V6. I've searched for the catch can install, and have come up empty handed on numerous tries.

If anyone has a link or pic I'd be very greatful.

Eirck,
Thank you very much for the link. One more question, where to the other hoses in the can plug into?

I don't have either. I have the N/A 3.2L engine, but there isn't much performance action on those boards. I figured the C32 would have similar Crankcase Ventilation as my motor.

gotcha! on each valve cover, there is a smaller 'valve cover' that sits on top of it. looking from the front of the motor, there will be one hose on the left side and 2 hoses on the right side (one bigger and one the same size as the other side)...if you look at the picture from the thread that i posted, you can see that on each side of the catch can you have a hose coming off of it...

on the right side in that picture there is a splitter for the 2 smaller hoses to connect to it, on the left side the bigger hose fits right on...

the hose on the top is for a vacuum line so that you do not smell exhaust gas in your cabin like Jerry was talking about in that thread...

hopefully this helps, let me know if it is not clear enough...
