read the instructions, they are so PAINFULLY easy to install you will kick yourself, if you get them from kane.s2k he'll make sure they are marked with the correct direction for install
snip the hoses, install vents with clamps, reattach hoses to end of vents, tighten clamps, start it up and enjoy the extra 40hp!

you only need one, the other will cause pressure in your system. To check install both of them, run the engine for a bit then shut it off and pop the dip stick and hear a WHOOOSH!!!. not good for the engine, not too sure why they are sold in pairs (other than to charge $100 instead of $50 of course)

^^^
in my experience I don't have the "woosh" you are describing, so either my install is lame, which I doubt since I looked on here for the installation instruction and was extremely attentive to how it was put in,
but the "only one kv" theory is getting me confused, I want to hear it from kane before I go nuts

the stock pcv valve will not hold supercharger boost, which is why you need 1 KV, but the other vent (the one closest to you in the engine bay) held pressure in my engine, as it did with other members, removing this vent and replacing it with just an air filter to vent or a catch can or routing it back into the system will relieve the pressure the other vent would cause.

plz take pics, the front of the engine to me is the furthest away from the steering wheel, but with the hood up it may be nearest the firewall, sometimes these things need to be made brainless
I still want some more evidence that this is right, after a couple years of kv's being out you think someone would have figured it out earlier...

^ and you need two to create vacuum. One to block boost and another to hold vacuum. If you put a filter there, then the air will go in and you won't have vacuum. Hope this help.
