Boring update but if you want to build it like me you have to shift your washer bottle over 1 inch. Remove the plastic donut and modify the bracket
One less thing.

Cerakote titanium. The end is in sight! AN fittings in the mail for oil catch can. Need to finish wiring and finish the oil drain but I'm waiting on new CK torch parts.

Megasquirt IO can now turn the fan on and off. Need ground cables and crankcase vent fittings.

What do the AN fittings on the valve cover go to?

I see what looks like a vacuum manifold on the firewall with hoses to fuel regulator maybe, brake booster and down near the turbo? How will the catch can be plumbed in? I'm trying to take it all in.

This can has 2 inlets, a baffle, and a filtered outlet with drain on the bottom. The can also unscrews

But you're right about the vacuum manifold to brake booster. 1 line to the wastegate, 1 line to the blow off valve. Fuel pressure regulator vacuum line is in the stock location off the intake manifold.
So no vacuum to the catch can? Basically a vent for crankcase pressure?
I'm looking forward to how this performs.

Correct. Boost will increase blowby and instead of dumping oil, exhaust and water vapor into the engine, you vent it to atmosphere. Closed crankcase is an emission regulation for on highway since the 1960s. All heavy duty off highway diesels run open crankcase vents
