Oil catch can

I took that nipple and ran a vacuum hose to my transmission brace and just let it vent under my car...

Thanks for posting pics!
I can`t mount it there because of IC piping though.
This is the ebay can right?
Is the blue hose going from besides the battery tray the same hose that connects to ur turbo inlet?

Yes, I had to connect another piece of hose to that blue hose as it was not long enough. I will be replacing it with one complete piece shortly. It is the Godspeed CC that I got from Amazon.

so the purpose of a catch tank is to "filter" out all the condensation that occurs form running an engine hot then cold, hot then cold... or did I miss something... I have never understood why to have one... I remember hearing it will keep the oil out of the intake... but not sure at all about their function... and I'm not afraid to ask...

What do oil catch tanks do, other then 'catch oil in a tank'

I guess it`s because of if you are having a sealing problem and pressurize ur cranckcase the pressure will vent out. If you are using a catch can, or the original purge controll valve ---> Intake manifold is up to you. The reason why I will use a catch can is because then I can see in the can if I am having a sealing problem or not.
