Well I just had the factory setup tell I did some research I guess the new question is what is the best way to setup a catch can and I don't know if this matters but the driver side valve cover has a internal pcv valve in the valve cover that seas is not serviceable is that ok to leave or do i need to buy a new valve cover without one?

Good deal I did that setup for now with dual hoses and breathers just trying to keep the oil smell out of the cab so my girl friend will ride with me lol

Lol I had the same oil smell and eventually they make a mess of your engine bay. I went with the monster can with the dual check valves. I like it because it keeps the crankcase in a vacuum like factory, in and out of boost. Zero smell and I just drain it about every 500 miles.

Where did you put your wastegate, down on the crossover under the truck between the banks, or is it near the turbo after passenger side log?
