Default Help with catch can set up

Hi

​​​​​​I have mocked up the way my catch cans ran before i started getting flumes of smoke by a leaking hose.
Does that look right?



Thanks

I don't know if there's a better setup as it came like this but I have an aos/catch can setup that goes:

Crank Case Breathers > T piece > AOS > Catch Can > Turbo Inlet

My pcv goes into the turbo inlet and is not "caught" but would probably be better if it was

Why is everything YouTube these days, I don't know about you but I don't want to watch a 10 minute video of some mupoet with a droning voice for information that could be read in 30 secs and be more direct and factual without all the babbling, I don't know, maybe I'm just old now

My pet hate exactly; you just know if there is an young American , especially with a baseball cap , or rock/ electronic intro in the 1st seconds, that you are going to have to listen to 10mins of BS erring and humming, before the ****e actual work even begins. The best ones are silent, sub titled with all the equipment and crucial points. Half the time I start watching only to find they are travelling to a "bro's" garage, or a "shop" to badly film someone else doing it. Fair gets my goat, and I didn't even watch the one above......suppose I'll have to now grrrr
Edit; to be fair, except the music, he was reasonably concise with the little sucker

Because as they say:
"one picture is worth a thousand words", imagine a video of someone doing... where you can skip forward and back.

the 10min is the time youtube puts adds on the videos so they can monetize. but the video i've shown shows the routing and it's only 6min long.

Yes, it can be, and a picture would be fine, but it's a video, 6 minutes long for information that could be portrayed in a picture within seconds or text in a little more.

Don't take my replies as a personal attack as it's not intended to be at all, we all have our opinions :-)
