Default Recirculate my Catch can. before or after BOV?

Ok, I installed this catch can a few weeks ago, and now all I smell is gas/oil when driving my car.

I'm gonna replace this catch can with a closed system one that re-routes to the intake charge pipe, instead of having the breather filter on the can.

So I have to drill a hole in pipe before the throtlebody and thread it for a fitting. no big deal.

But does it matter if I put the fitting before or after the blow-off valve???

Correct, to suck the fumes into the system. Between filter and turbo.

correct, otherwise boost pressure would run through your catch can, back into valve cover.

off topic but is you catch can mounted to the cross member using a t-bolt clamp with a mounting hole on each side...cause I was thinking of doing the same...just need to get the 90 degree drill attachment to drill the cross member...wanna confirm this before I go ahead and do it...thanks
