Also, Barksdale? Rough.
The catch can is runing from the fill tube to the intake, but I have taken it off since. The reasoning is: I did some research and since I have an '08 I don't really need a catch can as the design is different from the 04-05 models so I hooked it back up without the catch can.
I have the oil feed coming from a sandwich plate oil filter adapter.
Meh Barkatraz has started to grow on me but I'm ready for a change in venue.

- drawing is simply better than text in many cases. Like in electrics, hydraulics etc, you don't have a document explaining it with words how its connected, you get a schematic.

It's not technically accurate so it defeats the purpose. For example, You don't want to vent your blow off valve to atmosphere on a MAF setup.

^That might be. Is post #9 from Mawnee more correct? If not, a corrected drawing is most appreciated. Just keep it simple(with lines and names of components) like in normal schematics, you do not need to make things look like a picture.

If builders did this, we could have schematics of different setups, so that we who is trying to educate us to FI is not making the same mistakes when we take the step. There is loads of info at RX8club, but almost everything is plain text.

Mawnee's version is pretty much spot on although I can see one improvement to the boost control setup that i would do out of personal preference .

If you were running an external wastegate it is correct.
