Mounted new Vent Can for Turbo setup...
... this outta do for now. The drivers side vavle cover and the LS6 valley cover will be routed to the catchcan thats hooked up to intake vacuum. Incidently I just drained my catch can for the first time... and I had probably 1 1/2 cups of oil in it.
Anyway, made a little bracket for the Moroso vent can and mounted it to the passengers side frame in front of the A/C compressor. Came out nice I thought. I mounted it low for a couple of reasons. One, I did not want the nasty vent smell coming into the cabin from the A/C. It should route underneath the engine at speed. 2nd, I did not want to mount the can anywhere near the turbo... and mounting it on the drivers side would have made the hose really long. I figure if/when I am ready for more boost I'll do the same thing to the drivers side cover. Here are a few pics... enjoy.
(edit) Oh ya, the billet aluminum fill cap was an ebay special I drilled and tapped (3/4 NPT) for the -12 hose. I thought it was better than drilling/tapping the plastic cap... and for $16 plus shipping it wasn't a bad deal at all.

Nice install as usual, I plan on doing basically the same thing but welding a bung to my valley cover since Ill be running a vic jr and be able to clear a large fitting in the front.
You tied the hose off the ls6 valley cover into the nipple on the valve cover correct?

Tim,
Are you referring to the aluminum oil fill cap? Thats an ebay special. Do a search for "LS1" on ebay and you'll see them.
Chase,
Are you referring to the port on the valve cover that used to go to the back of the throttlebody in stock form? If so, I capped that port off as the -12 line I have attached to the oil fill cap has plenty venting capability. I don't understand your second question. Are you referring to the Krank Vent check valve? Thats a one way check valve to prevent boost from entering the crank case.
