If you have stock route UICP and a full size battery you'll have to take those two things off to get to it.

It might be in the way. Hard to say without seeing your car.

i kind of skimmed through since ive been away for a couple days but back on the catch tank thing:
I dont get why u guys are all obsessed with blowby and vacuum? ive never worried about it. i just vent the rocker cover to a catch tank with a nice big filter on it and it just vents when it feels the need to vent and i drain it every once in a while. ever since going to E85 i get a bit more crap through due to the condensation you seem to get off e85.
Ive seen the state of the stuff that builds up in your catch tank and theres no way in hell id let that stuff drain back into my engine. It lowers your octane of your fuel/air mixture too putting those oil vapours back into your intake. and creates a yucky build up of oil on the inside of your pipes.
I personally cannot see a single benefit to recirculating the crap that blows out your engine back into your intake. and im not sure why you guys are interested in pulling a vacuum either?
I havnt seen a single high power evo down these ways thats interested in doing either of the above so curious to hear opinions on what the obsession is here?

A properly designed catch can has baffles/filters/sections that prevent 99% of the "crap" from getting sucked back to the intake so that's not really a concern these days. For guys that are on stock motors or close to them the sealed vac becomes more important whereas a loosely built race motor blows enough that a sealed can becomes a kink in the system as I've concluded so far.

I tend to agree with this. you cant really draw a vacuum. turbo is going to suck from the point of least resistance. so it will just balance out with whats coming through the air filter

You can draw a vacuum if you have a dry sump (or external vacuum pump) and seal all the vents on the engine... That way you vent the engine trough the dry sump scavenge pumps and lower the pressure in the crankcase. This benefits ring seal and if you have the budget, you can run lower tension rings too..

I need to talk with some people at work that know more fluids than I do, but I don't remember if you can get a venturi to work in a vacuum like in the intake or if it needs to be pressurized flow.
