On a stock install all thats needed is to route the harness under the bracket. There is plenty of clearance around the shield for this mounting method without contact issues. Depending on where the harness is located by the owner will dictate where a P clamp needs to be installed for proper strain relief. Thanks, Indy

Hey, just received 1 of the catch cans, and I have a noobish question.
1) it cam with a machined nipple, where does it install at
2) Do I need to remove the PCV valve when I install this? (being that 1 side of the valve cover has a PCV valve and the other does not.
3) With this cam, will I still need to run a zip strip or a retaining spring on the dip stick?
Thank for you help and this catch can looks beautiful. I am very excited to install it this weekend.

2. Refer back to #1. If its straight, yes. I would personally get rid of the PCV all together. That's on my list this winter.
3. That I don't know. The goal of the whole setup is to reduce crankcase pressure, so hopefully no.

Yes, the PCV needs to be removed.
Yes, you need the spring to hold the dipstick in or a wire tie if that is what you use.

ok. Installing the can now and ran into somethings. (pointing out, not complaining)
1) Can rubs onto the abs lines. If the mounting bracket on the can was over 1/2 off center, it would clear both intake mani and abs pump/lines.
2) Dip stick did not come with a new o ring for where it slides into the block. (sourced my own, hope it works good)
and I need a lil install help. I asume that the 2 ports on the side near the bottom, that the lower port gets connected to the intake manifold and the upper port gets connected into where the pcv valve was connected?
**looking back at the web site pictures, it appears that both ports are connected to both valve cover ports. If that is so, what do I do with the port on the intake manifold? Block it off?

Here is the HOW TO write up on installing this catch can. Hopefully it will help others that have questions.

Good write up. I'm in the states now and thinking of ordering three of these... one for myself and one for my two other friends with Evo 6's. Might be calling Buschur on this one.
All of us have built motors and all of us have to top up our oil after about 3-4 weeks driving. Thinking better crankcase venting might help.
