Is it not the same as DSM's?

I have never installed one so I don't know.

The way I did mine deletes the pcv valve. Just screw a nipple into it's place, run a hose from that and the other valve cover breather port to the catch can. Then have a seperate hose come in through the top of your can and go to your intake pipe.


I'm on a blow-through setup though, so I don't know how this would apply to you.

Interesting. On the X the stock line runs from the valve cover to the intake. When I install my AMS intake (which doesn't come with the inlet) I was just going to run the line to the catch can. I didn't think there was a need for an outlet on the catch can. Need to research that.

Ideally you're going to want 2 catch-cans for a proper install and to maintain vacuum inside your crankcase.

VC breather ---> MAP crankcase vent (optional but recomended) ---> catch can ---> intake pipe

AND

stock PCV ---> catch can ---> MAP crankcase vent ---> intake manifold

You really need two of them.

If you want to route both the breather and PCV to a can then yes, you need 2. If you do just one can though then pick which of the above two is more important to you and go that route. I personally have 1 can setup between the VC breather and intake pipe.

Yes except you have the line going to the intake manifold, not where the pcv valve use to screw into the vc.
