catch can owner inside plz...
When you installed your catch can did you remove your PCV valve completely? Thanks. 
Sorry, forgot to mention I have a amw can and it's a 2003 Coupe.

No No No, the catch can goes between the PCV and the intake vacuum source. Mine is directional, if yours is too make sure the flow of vacuum is going in the direction it's supposed to. Do a search in this forum or others for pics and diagrams. Hard to describe without a picture.

It goes: Out of your valve covers (or valley cover outlet for Z06 owners), to the catch can, then from the catch can to the pcv then to the intake manifold. The choice of mounting the can is yours. I've got mine up front on the inside of the frame rail like Patches'. HTH

I got so confused that I just threw it in my tool bax and decided that I will have A&A do it along with everything else I'm havin done.

Thanks for the reply re breather hose. Hooked up the catch can by leaving PVC in location on throttle body with line to side of AMW can, and connected 3/8 foam covered line to top of catch can. Thanks, Hall

That should do it.
