For this you will need

10mm Socket to remove Plenum
A piece of 5/8 power steering hose to supplement the piece of hose you already get. You also need hose clamps.
Flat head screwdriver

Here is a nice shot of everything you get.

Remove the engine cover by removing these four screws. The ones in the back are a pain, but if you use a 10mm combo wrench you will be able to get it under the strut.

Set the engine cover and the screws aside.

Remove the hose that connects the PCV to the lower collector (circled in red)
I found the clips to be quite the pain, however if you just pull hard enough on the hose, it comes off.

Set that hose aside.

From here plug the two hoses into the catch can and mount it where you would like. I mounted mine to the head shield around my pop charger.

I then ran the hoses under the piece of plastic in front of the car. I drilled two small holes so I could just zip tie it under that plastic piece.

Start the car, check for any whistling noises - put the engine cover back on and enjoy!

Disregard the horridly dirty engine bay. It is cleaned and detailed now.
