According to the directions you can.

I have one but was going to take it off. I can do it either way.

Best instructions I've seen for installing it are on Elite Engineering's website. Go to their products and look at their catch can. There is a link there to installing a catch can and the instructions include diagrams of the various systems.

Maybe that will help. Good luck. I'd try to help more but I haven't installed mine yet so I'm still new to the catch can game.

Does this sound right????

This is how I ran my hoses:
Top of catch can to the valley cover.
Bottom of catch can I ran to the intake with the pcv valve allowing the intake to pull air. Does this sound right????

I figure, since the intake sucks in air and the valley cover forces air out, I am trying to keep the oil from the valley out of the intake. I'm sorry, I may be over thinking this.

Am I on the right page here??

Since you have an LS2 TB one line goes to the airbridge/coupler after the MAF. You have to drill a hole for it. The other end goes to the valley cover.

If your can is designed like the Elite or AMW then the top line goes to the Valley and the side goes to the airbridge/coupler.
