Oil Catch Can. Did I install it correctly?

As soon as I pulled the original T out to see what size it was I saw it was covered on the inside (dripping) with oil.

Can someone tell me if I borked this or not. I looked on a few threads but most had double catch cans or a catch can on a TMIC or a WRX. So it was hard to find one to "copy" that was like my setup. I think I have it right but would love some confirmation.

Red= crank case breather hoses left and right sides.

Blue= hose to intake that connects to crank case breather hoses.

Yellow= 1st place I T'd into the lines and leads to the catch can

Pink= 2nd place I T'd into the lines and leads to the catch can.

Any help with the CATCH CAN?


My intercooler piping? Like the Perrin FMIC tubes? What instructions? I think GST would have told me it was wrong, since they installed it (well I helped in the parking lot some).

It doesn't look correct too me. Your breathers should tie together, go to the can, exit the can and go to the intake. Don't connect the PCV to the breathers. They are diffrent circuts. I've run both and never had any oil in the PCV can.

Thank you! Can anyone else confirm?

I still don't get what's weird? I am running a Perrin FMIC, Perrin Blow-thru MAF, TIAL BOV and that other metal tube is my intake.

Hella tioght

And thanks, I will listen to you and Jeff about the can.

Ok got it fixed @ lunch. Just bought a straight connector instead of a T for the intake side and just hooked the crank case hoses T to the other side of the catch can.

Thanks again for the help guys. I will post a pic of how it is supposed to be hooked up later so if people search here on I-club they can find it. I wish this place had a tad more technical info stored or easier to find.
