Same place as what? there are a couple different locations that these can be mounted, location depends on what gen and if ms3/ms6.

When you buy one of these from Matt you have to state whether you want it in Location 1 (under the intake) or Location 2 (passenger side) and he'll send you the correct size hoses.

oh i was talking about the same location as in the tut in this tread but that last post was what i was looking for thanks

Got my OCC kit in from Matt and was taking the PCV to IM hose off and heard a crack (stock pcv)... No biggie right as the kit eliminates the pcv?

Thanks for the help guys

Edit... Nevermind, it retains it.

I used a 3" hole saw to cut the hole in the 3 pieces of plastic that converge on that area with no problems. Gotta watch those damn parking curbs even more now though, I tweaked it just a bit even with it NOT being the lowest thing hanging down... Still though, it works like a charm. I also did something I doubt nobody else has done. I used copper hard line instead of the heavy duty hose. I tried the braided clear hose from Home Depot and it's not fuel resistant and was getting some deforming. The heavy duty heater hose was getting some collapsing, so I got some 5/8" nominal (1/2" ID) formable copper tube and bent my own hard lines. I'll get pics at the next oil change.

I was thinking of using copper myself and read what you did with your setup.
I'm surprised that nobody here had anything to say about your copper setup. I must be jaded from past experience.
But, yeah. Yours is the first time I've read of anyone going that route and i can see how hose collapse and deformation would be a thing of the past.

Is there any scenario where the OCC would be run with an "in" line only and function properly?
