Application Notes:
The parts I show here are applicable for 2001+ only. The 2000 and earlier use a different plastic pipe. A kit is available for those cars here:

As the vast majority of the interest here is the “PCV” system, I thought I should address what I did to freshen mine up “while I was in there”. When I pulled all this crap out, it was in quite bad shape:
All busted up and leaking and such. So I got this stuff new:

And I cleaned out this guy (PCV Bleeder Valve):

And installed as such:
I reused the stock “S” hose, the one that connects to the Bleeder Valve there (shown in first photo). Recently there has been some development in this area by 034 motorsports. You can now buy a silicone “S” hose, and a billet aluminum PCV bleeder valve. Just the other day I noticed my re-used “S” hose is starting to tear and leak slightly (dag-nabbit!!), so I hope to install those 034 items soon. Check out their stuff here:

Many people have decided to remove the PCV valve and the manifold connection to the PCV system and just vent it to atmosphere. I feel that is certainly applicable to high horsepower/Big Turbo cars. With a stock turbo, it is my opinion that simplifying and keeping the stock system working well is the best route. Discussion of “catch cans” and other system re-routes and modifications is outside the scope of this DIY, but feel free to discuss amongst yourselves.
