1. I dunno, I wouldn't think so though. someone will chime in.

2. No. Run it through the throttle body and into the accordian hose. breathers will have you replacing the rear main seal again.

*edit*
There should be a metal vacuum line thats shaped like a f*cked up L with two similar looking nipple on it. It goes from the back side of the throttle body connects to those two nipples, and routes under the 3k pipe and connects to the accordian hose.

If you wanted to use a catch can, cap off the TB line and get an elbow connector and a 3 way piece and connect the two nipples and run it to the catch can, then run a line from the catch can to the accordian hose.

Are you talking about the PCV nipples coming out of the top of cam/valve covers? If so, yes some smoke might come out of them. To fix hook up the PCV system.

Post a pic of what you are talking about.

You have a GT35R setup and you don't even know what the PCV holes are??? Thats scary.


1. If you are referring to the "nipples", YES, there should be 'smoke' coming out of them. What you see is mostly oil vapors

2. NO NO NO NO NO to 'breathers'. Its a PCV system for a reason. If you don't know what a PCV system is type search in google and it will explain it easily and with pictures. As far as a catch can is concerned, it will only help.

Do yourself a favor and start reading through repair manuals about your car.

damn that looks good, and damn its a little pricey!


pcv should have a line to the tb port and in front of the turbo behind the air filter. Also you might consider tapping in new ports(larger) and larger lines then stock. PCV is your friend when you turn up the boost!

^ True, LOL. I should have stated that it needs to be plumbed properly, but I thought that was common knowledge?
