Never thought of it that way, but i would have to agree. Mine is on the other far side of the brake booster and works great from what i can tell..

Nothing other than having to use zip ties to secure it to something. To me, it's cleaner being mounted up front using an existing bolt beside the alternator.

it keeps from having blow-by oil get past the PCV during WOT & High RPM situations & getting into the intake plenum. Install the catch can between the PCV & plenum & the can catches the oil instead of it being dumped into the plenum. Just basically helps keep the intake runners in plenum & heads from getting dirty.

The inside of your intake is entirely coated wity oily residue. All of your valves are heavily coated with buildup. The crowns of your pistons are covered with carbon

I'm not sure what you mean. Mine is bolted directly onto the large stud the booster is bolted to. The stud sticks out significantly past the master cylinder, with plenty of room for the catch can. The stud is the exact same size as the hole in the bracket. All that was required was a nut. No zip ties required. The hoses aren't long enough to need them.

Looks good. I wasn't aware that it was mounted on that stud. I figured people were just zip tying it somewhere around there. I may be mounting mine there now. Thanks
