I have tried my best to get the funds to buy one of these but I just can't make it happen yet. Quite a surprise to see this offer!
PCV setup is a bit confusing to me still; the discussion thread has helped a little but there are a lot of concerns/questions going around...
Pcv is simple, either run a pcv valve to the intake manifold, and one side with a check valve VTA, or just run vta, or run a pan evac and the OEM flapper off of the front head port.
I didnt have that issue but im having others and id recommend throwing washers around all the bolts also.
Mines installed without any problems. What problems are you having? I recommend getting the VC on first (injectors pulled) with the VC bolts still loose so you can get a tiny tiny bit of wiggle room around the injector bracket.
Thos of you who already installed this.. care to share some pics of it installed and your catch can setup?
Yeah pretty sure it's the loss of the alignment dowels causing weird fitment.
I shaved the bracket and the shoulder of the bolt to make mine fit, it was off by less than a mm, but just enough to suck lol
Here's my can at the moment. I'm replacing this with a a pan evac once I get the bungs welded.

I know it’s super petty and insignificant, but I can’t get past how small the oil cap is. Am I crazy that the proportions between the cap and cover is just totally off visually?
Overall, the cover looks amazing though and is hands down the cover I would buy if I were currently in the market.

I agree. The oil cap looks weird but this still is one of the best looking covers... In the cheaper ones tho. The more expensive ones I believe the vtto looks better.
thought you didnt have to remove the injectors for changing cover?VTTO says that anyway for theirs
They said you have too because they had to make it thicker since cast is nowhere near as strong as billet.
How do you feel about the bolts with no washers? Im nervous theyll come thru the cover with all the vibrations
You probably have to replace the Injector seals then too right?
yep, they suppose to be everytime you pull them out and you need the seal compression tools to put the injectors back in to do it properly

PR sells the tools to pull and replace injector seals for cheap. That’s where I bought mine.
The seals aren't too bad I used the AGA tool, glad I did it aswell, my old VC had puked oil down the injector bores.
@Idratherbesurfing not too worried about the bolts not having washers, they are only tourqued to 8.5nm/6.2ftlbs.
