I don't have any pics, but where it comes out of the valve cover there is a 90° fitting that I spun around, and I placed a small piece (3-4") of 3/4 hose to a PVC 90 so it is now facing down toward the back of the truck/ground and ran 3/4 hose down the inner fender toward the ground. removed the fitting from three intake and plugged it.

If you have another vehicle, once you take it apart it is easy to see and one trip to the hardware store and your done.

There is no secrets really unless your making a catch can. Just don't have any restrictions/kinks or any low spots in the line.

Use 1 inch expandable freeze plug to plug the hole in the air intake. And maybe a little RTV for fun

If you dont have emissions, I would just go to lowes and get about 10ft of 1in diameter heater hose and run it from the dog house to your frame and then use jb weld to plug the hole in the intake tube. You can do the whole thing $20 or less and mine has been working like a champ for over 20k miles so far. Only on hot days do I smell it. I have never seen one drop and I dont have any spray on anything. I also dont believe that 1in hose can freeze itself shut either if you live in cold areas. Hope this helps.

Yes i have seen where people do that, and there are kits available that do it that way. Just be careful that there is no low spots or anyway to pressurize the crankcase.

My intercooler tubes, intake tube, and the compressor on turbo are spotless and dry. Also helps keeping intercooler boots on with high boost becuse there is no more crankcase oil to saturate them. :poke:

the drains are closed until you open them to drain fluid
it's not open to the atmosphere so no filter required
