Just a few quick questions I had after reading all sorts on fitting one of these as I couldn't seem to the find the exact answers on what is best.

I currently have a little Air Filter attached to the Rocker Cover. This is wrong as this is an inlet into the Rocker cover and not a means of venting. Is that correct? I'm planning to re-attach the Vacuum Pipe to the Inlet and Rocker Cover if this is right.

When buying an Oil Catch Tank, should I be buying one with 2 Ports and a Breather/Filter? If I do re-attach the Vacuum Pipe, I'd only need a single Inlet into the can for the PCV.

Is it best to run a pipe straight from the Crank, bypassing the PCV to the Catch Tank or via the PCV then to the Catch Tank?

Finally, where do I buy the little plugs to blank the port on the IM that the PVC would normally run to? And what size, 9mm?

2 port with breather should be OK. 1 port goes to valve cover and another 1 port goes straight to crankcase box (black box). You can ditch out the PCV because PCV need to work with intake manifold vacuum to operate. In my country the little plug/stopper easy to find. Not sure what size it required.
 
9mm vacuum plugs from eBay, think I squeezed 8's on for a tight fit, also clipped them with the Honda vacuum pipe clips.

You need one with yes, 2 ports and a breather/filter. I just drilled a hole in my Cusco one, worked fine and never let too much stuff build up inside. I just ran it from the rocker port and the pcv port to the can. Also bypassed the coolant going into the TB whilst I was there!
