Catch can

Can anyone point me in the right direction on how to install a catch can on these cars?

Both sides are needed-
the manifold side will draw in oil vapor when engine is under vacuum not boost and the vapor will accumulate on the intake valves-
the inlet side is under a constant vacuum and draws oil vapor from the valve cover-the vapor gets sent directly into the turbo compressor and through the intake tract-
during the warm weather there is very very little residue in both of my cans but during colder weather the cans get filled up pretty quickly and it’s pretty nasty looking stuff

Can you please explain the “inlet tube” side part of this? I figured there was just 1 hose running from the crankcase to in the intake.

I like your install, very clean. Where did you get the braided lines and metric fittings?

Lastly, do you know what size the crankcase vent diameter is for proper hose size?

Thanks

Inlet is the intake tube before the turbo-it’s under constant vacuum and always draws crankcase vapors into the turbo-oil on compressors wheel is not good- neither is it good in the intercooler and tubing etc-
do a quick inspection of the air inlet tube inside and you’ll see!
I had some a/ n fittings and braided hose from other projects that I used
