I think it will catch the "blow by" before in goes into the throttle body. But I'm not 100% sure.

You have to T it into both crankcase breathers and it will prevent oil from getting into the intake tract. You can mount it anywhere. It's recommended for use only in the summertime since the condensation can freeze in the lines during winter and create a nice Spy Hunter mode.

An oil catch can preserves a fully functioning PCV system while filtering oil vapor out of crankcase and cylinder head vapors. Usually these vapors are circulated directly back into the intake tract, a catch can simply sits between the PCV system and the intake and traps the oil.

Unless you're cool and run a line from the bottom of the can back to the crankcase, you will have to drain the accumulated oil on a periodic basis.
