Take off the hose from the rocker cover to the inlet piping, Replace it with hose from rocker cover to inlet of the Cusco. If you want to stay legal put a hose from outlet of the Cusco to the inlet piping. If you care not about legality don't put the last hose in. However if there is any oil atall going through the system it will very soon be all over your engine bay ;) Leave all the other hoses alone.

I believe that sensor is inlet air temp ??

i'll check it out and let you know it'll be hard cos its got two outlets for the hoses and a oil level thingy

Link is to pic of a good quality catchcan that should actually work.

The inlet extends to the bottom of the can, the outlet is from the top.

Oil tainted air is admitted to the bottom of the can and exits from the top on the way up the wire mesh helps to condense out the oil.

You need to empty the can from time to time depending on how much oil you'r blowing through

man this cusco @#$$ doesnt have an inlet pipe that runs down and doesnt have a steel mesh or some sort of filter. what brand is the pic and wat if i use my cusco can without steel mesh wats gonna happen cos all i want the can to do iscatch the oil and preventing it going into the inlet

    • Thanks for the info. The only "Issue" I've had with the shifter is I always found the throw between 4th and 6th gear too close. I'm always worried to shift into 4th accidently and sending my motor to the moon. Adam LZ recently came out with a video and stated Serialnine revised their shifters to correct this and will change all the revised parts for 150$. Strangely enough, I contacted Serialnine right after and they denied it and said it's bullshit. I found that strange as he's a distributer. I'll keep this forum post updated on that saga.
    • Yep that is correct. It allows you to adjust the short throw range from what I can tell
    • Car has been running great, I've put about 300km's of break in time on it. First thing that stands out with properly sealing rings is no more noticeable crankcase smell coming out of my catch can. This may seem insignificant, but the constant smell while driving around was infuriating. It's also nice to see my oil level remain stable. Two new issues have developed that I only noticed this weekend though. There's a very noticeable driveline vibration past 100kmh. I only noticed it now as I've been babying it under 100kmh in the backroads. This comes as no surprise as I'm running a one-piece shaft, and I paid zero attention to my driveshaft angle when I put everything back in. I also have a fair bit of voltage drop on hot starts. The starter audibly is forcing. No issues on cold start though. I must not have removed all the paint under my main block ground during assembly. I'll try and take care of both those issues this week once the kids are asleep.  I also received all the parts I was missing for my direct port setup. I will hopefully have pictures of that up soon. I'm hoping to get back on the dyno the week of June 30th as I'll be on vacation. I'm confident I should be able to make north of 500rwkw on pump gas and WMI. I'll go back again later this summer with E98, but I want to confirm my ethanol content sensor is working properly first. I've never seen it read anything but 11%. This makes sense for our 10% ethanol content pump gas here, but I would expect the occasional movement between fill ups. 
    • 75% complete. Will now need to get a new axle with 5x114.3 hubs and then figure out how to customize some mudguards for it once the wheels are on.
    • Trailer prep is underway... Lined up the wheel to get a rough indication of how it would sit Then removed all the bits (as far as possible) and gave the frame a light sand and quick lick of paint   Then added some carpet
