... U basically have to cut the line, make a lil joiner(with pipe or someting similar and hook as done here, ...

hey trav how did you make the joiner? if you're using hose clamps wouldn't the plastic pipes crumble under the pressure of tightening and make gaps?

[dundas]

plastic pipes? get metal ones.. any local auto shop will have them.. i did it for mine.
u know when ur car is about to die on you too form having a catch can. you get a LOT of oil being caught in the can. just from experience.
and also from a friends 180 too (turbo started to die in his 180)
oh and pro of these are that your "please insert word here" breathes in less oil. which is tastier for the engine when it gets FRESHH air

Just be careful you don't short the battery on the catch can if ever connecting jumper cables.
