1)so the best thing to do is to get a piece of hose and join it to the cam cover oulets put a t-piece in and join it to the tank.
2)get another piece of hose and put it on the crank caseing outlet and join it to the tank.
3)put a bung into the intake pipe(this bit im not sure about )
4)put a small filter on the none return valve.
feel free to correct me at any time

I fitted one to my MY95. I got rid of all the gubbins under the inlet as it wasn't needed anymore 
Simple guide to what I did:
1) Pipe from o/s cam cover breather to a T piece on the n/s of the engine bay
2) pipe from the n/s cam cover breather to the same T piece
3) short length of pipe from that T piece to another T piece
4) pipe from crankcase breather to that T piece
5) short length of pipe from that T piece to the catch can mounted on the n/s behind the pillar below the strut brace
6) breather filter connected to the catch can
Hope this helps. Sorry I haven't any photo's but I could probably take some if you need them

Here's my install:
1. Crank out.
2. Return pre turbo.
3. Plugged return.
4. Rocker vent.
Might have to move or isolate the tank when hotter weather arrives. Doesn't get very hot in the winter though. Problem is I can't find another place it'll fit...
This is a diagram of how I wanted to hook it up:
Hooking the tank up before the T to the PCV proved too difficult with the turbo in place, so it sits after the T now. Getting it prior would remove any mist into the plenum.

1)so the best thinging to do is join the 2 hose from the cam covers and vta
2)join the hose from the intake with a t-piece put 1 end to the tank and the other to the none return valve under the inlet.
3)piece of pipe from the crank casing straight to the tank
