It is possible to replace the existing hose but it is NOT easy.. I replaced it because that was where my vacuum leak was coming from. The factory hose does not have any clamps on it. The only way to replace it is to take the throttle body off. Pulling the existing hose off is the easy part but getting the new hose on is a pain. I ended up taping the hose to the end of a socket extension. I made sure to leave a long tail on the tape so once I fished the hose onto the fitting I could unwrap the tape securing the hose to the extension. It isn't too hard to get a long screw driver down there to secure the hose clamp either. Just go in under the the the charger from the passenger side parallel to the ground..
The fitting on the block is a 9mm fitting. The factory hose goes from 9mm to 15 mm so you will have to either get a different sized nipple for the catch can or find a way to step up the size. I just used a 9mm fitting on the catch can.
For those of you who are running a dual catch can setup. Could you please report back in a little while and let us know how much oil you are catching in the NON PCV can? I haven't seen much residue coming from that hose and would like to see how much it catches. THANKS
