Got some fittings for it and that was it. Probably paid less than $20 for mine.
I found this link, is this the way that everyone else runs there hoses? Or is there a better way?

And what is the advantage of using a cathc can on a blown car?
I may have to look into making my own

Hey dwtjr3. That's a great link for the catch can instal. You can route it any way you want. Just as long as you come from pcv on valve cover and through catch can and end up at intake. Most of the catch cans I see use this kind of method just because it's easy to attach to the firewall and not have to make a bracket. I don't know enough about Blown engines to give that kind of advise sorry. Good luck with your project.

Hey lizzy, have you ever had any problems with the vibration against the filter? I also like it hidden like that but was worried about the vibration messing it up.

On a blown car the boost produces positive pressure into the valve cover causing it to blow through the pcv valve into the intake. When the oil gets into the combustion chamber it lowers the octane rating of the fuel and can cause detonation.
