Yea for sure. BTW, the 3/8 inch lines were switched to 1/2 inch for much better flow..dont wanna risk oil leaks or blowing seals.

*1/2 line fits kind of big over the PCV but a real tight clamp solves it. I ran the motor at idle for a long time feeling all the lines and then under some revs and all the lines are leak proof and no kinks.

I watched a vid on streetfire with a turbo is, and under high boost said his catch can caught fire because it doesn't have a breather on the top, do you need a breather on top of the CC?

you know you can turn the pcv valve right? so you dont have to make it do that extra loop yours is doing in the pictures. you can turn it so it points the same direction as the breather on the passenger side.
