7. Using supplied hose, connect left bottom port with "T" from crankcase.

8. Using supplied hose, connect right bottom port with TMIC hard pipe.

Its kinda dumb it covers the dip stick so you cant check your oil.

That really explains a lot, I was wondering what the hell the oil dumped into but I guess it goes on back around. If it weren't so pricey I'd dump my junk catch can.

It won't affect all cars the same way. For instance, on my '08 the dipstick and oil filler neck are very far apart:

u might wanna reroute that hose, may slide and obstruct the throttle linkage
or the end of the throttle linkage could pierce a hole in the hose

Hose is really tight in there, so it won't move to obstruct throttle linkage. Also, I think end of throttle linkage is not sharp enough to pierce the hose.

Surprised you were able to turn it that much though as I can no longer turn more than the current setting.

Here is the final version. I plan to re-route them so oil dip stick can be more accessible.



Jokers, that's another good way to route the hoses. It's just annoying that you have to remove the TMIC.
