That looks awesome man, congrats. Correct me if I'm wrong tho, but with that t from your pcv line your sucking dirty oily air that would other wise be clean air from the intake filter or breather filter. May or may not be an issue.

Don't mean to be a buzz kill man, just trying to help.

It's the same as the PCV Valve. It is going in to the catch can first. I belive it is all vapors which would be the same as going to the air filter first.

Yeah, I believe you can do away with the T and use a little vent cone filter. Where as that just vents, I think you are now sucking air out of it which is not how its designed I dont think. Its piped into your airbox for emissions as it occasionally spits oil, but i think your not suppose to introduce vacuum there. Im sure there is a scientific explanation for this. If it were me I would just stick a little air filter on it. you may be screwing with the evap system with the way its set up.

OK the hose I teed in to the pcv hose use to go to the air filter which sucks air. So instead just venting to the air I went ahead and teed it to my pcv hose so it is doing the same as if it went to the oem air box.
