Catch cans have always stumped me - what are they for

And where do they go.

they collect the oil vapours / oil thats re-circulated back to your inlet pipe, to avoid it being burnt again and eventually stop the mess collecting in your cooler/pipes

if you are on about the pcv valve that is under the throttal body, yes you can blank this off

1 breather from just in front of the turbo that goes to the block (you will need to block part of this off, as it goes to a T pice as well.
1 breather on left side of crank case
1 breather on right side of crank case

block up holes in inlet pipe (the pipe that goes from maf to turbo)

block off pcv valve (under T/Body)

This is an old pic, currently no can and VTA until I find another place for it (the location as shown is now a cold air box)

EddScott, have a read here regarding catch cans and their purpose
