I'm afraid the site is having BIG problems with the photo storage. If you can't see the pics in those other threads, chances are those same people won't be able to make the pics show here either unless they put them on a third party photo host and link them to this thread. My pics are suffering the same fate.
J's and Amy's pics are remote breathers. A more effective way is to plumb it like this:
or
The front breather hole is the fresh air inlet for the PCV. By plumbing the tank in the PCV line, the tank is a oil seperator.
The "JDM" way is to ditch the PCV valve and run both hoses to the same tank. This method doesn't use engine vacuum to evacuate crankcase pressure/vapor.

Would this result in more oil being "collected", thus, more oil being depleted from the crankcase? Do you think ditching the PCV valve is a good or bad thing?

Here's a link to a gallery of picture for the one I made and installed. It's intended for autocross. Oil Catch
Here's the hose routing in case you don't feel like following the link. This unit catches about 40-50 ml of oil between changes (5k miles). I usually empty it before every autocross, it's on my checklist. It stops the smoke screen for hard and long right hand sweepers when doing autocross.
