Question Oil catch can

I was wondering if anyone has installed a oil catch can on a turbo 2 yet, I have bought one and it did not come with any instructions, I'm guessing it would go from the housing ventilator to the can then back to the intake. If I'm wrong please let me know, thanks. -deathbyapex

That works.
I have mine vented to atmosphere.

As long as it can vent the oil pan area, it will work.
There are benefits and drawbacks to routing it back to the intake.

About the best write up is here:

A long read, but very informative.

If you use a proper air/oil seperator that cleans the oil out of the air, there are no drawbacks to routing it back to the intake.

This is an old thread that I've recently added some updated info to:
