Installing the can the "JDM" way does nothing. The front breather fitting is there to let air into the crankcase, not out.

Install the can on the PCV valve line.

T'ing the PCV hose back to the front breather fitting will just create a vacuum leak. Don't do this.

T'ing the PCV line back to the front breather bypasses the PCV valve from working. The PCV is a small metered vacuum leak. When you splice back to the front breather which is open to the atmostspere in front of the throttle plate, the manifold vacuum which was opening the PCV will now be pulling more unmetered air into the intake. Really bad vacuum leaks can burn valve seats and damage cylinders.

On a FI car it would be a boost leak.
