    I'm planning on installing two catch cans, like the picture below. Any suggestions or pointers? Is it dangerous to have oil potentially dripping on top of the turbo/downpipe if there was ever a leak?

    it looks fine there, the heat from the turbo will keep the lines from getting too much condensation during the winter. Where do the line from the rear can run to. got any better pics??

    Don't have any more pics, but this is how it works, I think...

    Rear goes between the crank case vent lines. Front goes between the solid line across the IC and the turbo inlet.

    That's what I'm shooting for. I think that guy used the hose kit that sells for $100. Too much for a handful of hoses. Does anybody know where to get plastic barb fittings to connect the hoses?
