The factory crankase vent hose which is 3/4 goes into the stock air plumbing, and some aftermarket intake kits have a provision for the hose hook-up via nipple. The purpose of adding a catch can, is so the oil/gas vapors get captured/contained inside a can that can be drained easily in most applications so you keep the entire intake tract free from oily residue that will eventually lead up to gummed up air tubing and intercooler inerts!...

DEEGee, nothing for you to worry about. There is nothing to "gum up" in a NA ski and the catch can seem necessary on some SC intercooled skis but not all.
I don't run one and there is not one drop of oil in the intake. Some ski need it, other don't, wish I knew why.

Pale Rider, thanks, maybe thats why i have no oil in the intake, I'm not modified much. Just a Vortec SC impeller and Riva intake. I only turn 8000-8100 so thats why no oil.
Thanks!
