You can use a hose clamp to secure it to the back of the rubber PCV valve.

Never Mind all done


O i had fun today i thought to my self if im going to add a 2 inch hose there, then i may aswell put the catch can on hour and a half later finished!
i did it like how the elite catch can was done in there instructions, but i added a brass elbow so the hose didn't kink! i kinda wanted to put the PCV after the catch can but i couldn't work that way out!

One thing that did happen the pcv poped out of its rubber case, so while it was out i cleaned it with some RP7 (hope i haven't stuffed anything when it fell out) was hard to get back in, had to spread the rubber boot so it would go ALL the way in! After spraying it heaps i noticed it rattled a bit more freely and louded, so hopefully i did a good job and all it well!

thanks

Looking at photos in other "Catch Can" forums I THINK they put a larger hose over the end of the PCV where there is no connection tail plus a hose clip and use a reducer to go back to the original size where it is to go into the engine
