i need info on how to install one of these on a redtop SR,

where do you guys find the best place to mount it can is ? (pictures of engine bay)??

also info on where the hoses go from the T in the valve cover would be apericated, im assuming the bottom one is the return.i know its an easy thing to do, i just want some idea on what i have to do/where i could mount it properly before i start. this is the exact one i have.

Here is my set up.
In your case (Red top) Use one of T valve from valve cover and use one from your intake pipe..

If you go to engine bay shots thread, you will find tons of different set ups...

I changed my intake pipe but this is effectively my setup... Basically you just need a WOT vacuum source and you want to keep any metered air in the system. This is the same reason you see people hook their catch cans to their exhaust. It's called scavenging but its basically a consistent vacuum source. I use a smaller line to the intake suction tube for easier routing. I've also incorporated a baffle plate inside my catch to discourage oil from being sucked into the turbo.

if its a race car - vent it all... if its a street car - to do it right u need 2 catch cans.

I wouldn't it vent it even in a race car... you need to have strong vacuum on Valve cover because it helps reduce crankcase pressure...
