man, my head is spinning now. I'm so confused on how to hook this up right. I did a search and came up with this on a honda tech board. THey said the morosso can is baffled. maybe you guys could look at this link take a look at the picture of the can. http://www.honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=75734
what would be halepful is a write up on how to do it correctly for the rear pcv. The intake valve cover one is pretty easy, but it sounds as if the other one collects more oil.

Greddy can mod page
Here is a page kinda showing this mod, except the guy is using steel wool. Since there is some moisture in the line sometimes, this will probably rust and gunk stuff up.

I think the bottom line is that both lines need a catch can system to keep gunk out of the turbo and the intake manifold.

Yeah, fourdoor's write-up and picture made perfect sense to me as well. Thats the route I definitely want to pursue and if someone designs an Evo specific can that works in this manner, I think it would be excellent

ya, it seems they took off the breather and added a pcv valve to the top aswell. After looking at the diagram again, it makes sense. Is it possible to get a picture of the line on backwhere the pcv is, I'm not 100% sure what line it is. What then would be the best recomended can to run, with out any issues of it collapsing the can or anything like denial stated. I had a perrin, it fit nicley back in the corner, all the other cans at the time seemed to big to fit anywhere that was y I ran the perrin. But I just had it hooked up to the intake / valve cover. I never noticed it collect any oil.

PCV off the valve cover:
You can see my lines for my can. Just find the stock hose and follow it back. You'll see where it hits the intake manifold.
As far as recommendations for cans, the Perrin one is not a bad choice as long as you put something inside of it so it doesn't implode on itself. Reason why I say that is due to placement: it's pretty much the only can I am aware of that is designed to be placed in that area.
This is my setup:
I've actually posted this on EvoM a long while back...anyhow it works, it looks nice enough, but I'm forced to run some pretty long lines to the PCV valve. But, I still get plenty of oil so I guess there's negative pressure to spare. I've been running this setup for almost 2 years now and during this time I haven't really seen any dynamite solutions come up *yet.* Hopefully someone will come up with something better.

Whoa! that one is HUGE! I had problems sneaking in a 3.25" diameter can in the engine bay.
