It is usually a little clear/white plastice piece and it goes between the valley pan and the intake manifold right behind the throttle body on the pass side.

If you don't have one let us know and we'll steer you in the right direction for one!

Make sure you don't need one in another area or line too! Rule of thumb if it can be pressurized by BOOST and it shouldn't then you need a Check-Valve

Thanks,Matt

Thanks, I know that I don't have one and need one..I think I might need two.
-One by the throttle body area
-one off of my catch can
If I am right. Thanks and if you can point me in the right direction that will help.

Diaphragm Check Valves, you need the one that fits your line. An easier solution would be just call A&A and ECS and get one.
