You're also going to hate life when you need to drain that thing.

I think it'll fit, but it'll be a PIA to dump it out. As for the hose, you need at least one for each port, maybe it's long enough were to can cut it into two?

I have the same can so is it actually just zip tied using the supplied bracket holes? I figured it would need a full on metal bracket given it's weight.

Yeah as XSV has said, we have the same catch can

https://www.mishimoto.com/compact-ba...an-2-port.html

the small bracket they include is quote unquote "universal". I've got some pieces of metal screwed together atm as a makeshift bracket (two L shaped one of which is a corner bracket) but it would be awesome if you had a legit bracket.

most people mount on the front driver side near the coolant reservoir. That's the only place I can think of that has enough room to fit that huge thing of the top of my head.

so do you just leave the hole that the PVC is oriinally connected to?

Correct me me if I am wrong. So I remove the PVC from the engine nozzle thing, connect the PVC with an extension pvc tube to the catch can?

What do I do with the original nozzle that I took the original pvc out of?

it doesnt say that the pvc goes into the "in" or "out" of the catch can.

So is the valve that's connected to the engine block, goes to the breather or the in where a tube goes to the bottom of the can?

And does the original pvc tube connects to the "in" or the "out" of the can?

As XSV stated on page 1 - "The original PCV hose is connected to an extension which goes to the output port of the OCC. Another hose is hooked up from the PCV valve to the intake of the OCC "
