    Yes,they go to the other side as the I/C is mounted on the passenger side on them so are perfect for 1.8ts with the throttle body on the drivers side,heres a pic i found of one used to mount a FMIC;

    The only problem is finding a catch tank with 19mm outlets ?

    They use the saikou michi catch tank.

    All the ones ive seen for sale on ebay ect has been 15mm.

    In that guide they use an 'L' bit that looks like it reduces nicely

    I thought so!

    I don't think I'll be venting to air so do I connect the other to the hockey puck?

    Just thing...., that T is 19mm reducer to 16mm... Maybe a silly question, but the hose from catch can will have an ID15mm will this fit over 16mm? I like the idea of using a T reducer as I think it will look neater.

    I was following this thread a couple of months ago and have now finished the change out.

    I went for one of these catch cans, (the the 19mm inlet/outlet)
    http://www.awesome-gti.co.uk/product.php?xProd=40597

    I also didnt use the hockey puck, I just used a 19mm 90deg piece to feed the catch can outlet line back into the TIP.

    I'll get some pictures up tomorrow of it all - I've gone for a slightly different pipe routing than the norm so need some opinions on it......
