Ok I have had a good luck, and I am not 100% sure where I need to put the pcv valve, but I think it may have to go before the T piece from the catch can. As in the picture below where the green arrow points. Is that right?

i dont understand why toy are putting the pcv valve back in, the reason for the catch tank is to remove all the failing parts!!!

just leave it as it is!!

That is exactly what I thought! But according to cobalt6700, he says I need to include it  :undecided: I have read through many pages this morning on the catch can, and I only come across a couple who suggested in the thread "to T piece the outlet pipe before the tip, and run a line  with a check valve back to the underside of the Inlet manifold to generate vac while car is not under boost." I think that was Pat who said that in the PCV simplification and catch can Install thread on U.Kmk4
