hmm got a pic of your engine bay? not sure about the euro, but in my car, i just disconnected the hose coming from the rocker cover, connected that to the catch can and connected up the return hose.

catch cans arent intended for the valve cover venting. it goes between the PCV valve (which vents the crankcase) and the intake manifold.

here are some pics of my engine bay. any idea as to where/how to attach one?

looks like the PCV valve is the one connected to your intake just above the red injen sticker in the last shot.
not 100% but looks like very similar setup to d series (i know it sounds stupid comparing similarities between d's and k's but this is a pretty universal part)
if in doubt ask a mechanic, or can anyone else here confirm?

Yeah i would agree with that ... take the hose off where the intake connects to the rocket cover, then close the intake hole so no access air comes out, then connect the catch can hoses which is provided to the rocket cover, then connect it to the catch can itself

like i said before, its NOT for the rocker cover.
its for the PCV valve which is for venting the crankcase.
and in this case the PCV valve appears to be the one being connected to the intake part which is in line with the red injen sticker in the last pic

You guy's got it wrong. The tsx forums have lots of guides on installing catch cans. Try tsx.acurazine.com.

Here's the location where the catch can connects to:

The blue thing on the bottom left is the catch can (self-made). If you follow the tubing, outlet is just near the alternator, while the inlet is actually under the intake cover (which I think you guys call the rocker cover? To me the rocker cover is the part behind, where the engine oil cap is).

You can't close the intake hole on the K24 engine. You need to maintain vacuum in the PCV system or the engine throws a code. Put the catch can between the inlet and outlet of the PCV system. And if you just put the outlet to the catch can, does that mean that you are going to vent it into the engine bay? If the cops catch you doing that, it's a defect.
