RE: Greddy OCC Question
ok i'll give ya a hand.Your cc has two inlets right?well run a hose from one of the inlets to you pvc valve, wich is located on the left hand side of you valve cover, there should be a line allready hooked to the pvc valve, if you want disconect that line and run a new fuel line from there to the inlet in your occ.Then run another line from the other inlet to the throttle body.Where in the tb? well remember that first line you unhooked from the pvc valve, the other end hooks up where your 2nd line should be hooked at.Hope I didnt make it too complicated, I tried to give lots of details because it can get confusing.Remember to use fuel lines wich are a lot more resistant to head than the ones that come with the occ.Hope this helps

Air hose line is the best and will not collapse.

RE: Greddy OCC Question
fuel line works as well. im pretty sure i used 1/4"
i cant access my photobucket at work, but i have a decent illustration on there very fitting to redevil's description. and he is very right about the lines that come with the can... they are crap. they get heated up way too easily and practically melt. they also expand under boost and suck shut under vacuum (especially when hot). mine isnt a Greddy, but its the exact same thing with a different name on it.

yeah, its a quick moneypit once you start modding... and its addicting. you can mount the occ over on the passanger side of the engine, or if you have aCAI you can easily mount it around the battery tray.
the one from the PVC to the Intake manifold (yellow) is really the only one to be concerned with. the other one is easily bypassed by placing a breather on the crankcase vent. it just looks pretty. i took the 2nd one off a couple weeks ago when i converted to short ram intake for the winter.
btw, i know my images says 'throttle body', but its really the intake mainfold it actually plugs into.
and lastly, a rough sketch of how the occ works:

the pvc the valve on the top passanger side. if you follow that factory line in yellow, it comes to the pvc where the hose connects. the pvc is, correct me if im wrong, a check valve. problem is when the turbo is spooling and it pressurizes the system, this line from the pvc to the manifold is under pressure as well. so oil and gook blows through it, into the TB, intake manifold and intercooler get crap flowing into them
