Does anybody have any pictures of one of these installed on a Trilogy? I just picked up one of the air/oil seperator mini filters from Home Depot and just wanted to get some suggestions on mounting it. Also i will have to pick up some 3/8 id hose to attach it because on the trilogy setup the metal tube runs from the intake to the pcv valve and a lil rubber boot connects it to the pcv valve itself. I was also told to remove the inner filter on it cause the synthetic oil would break down the filter material. Any suggestions?

I'm not sure how synthetic oil would break down the inner filter. I don't think synthetic oil is anymore toxic than regular oil. I think removing the filter part of it would render it useless capturing oil from blow-by gas. If anything, I would think that the filter would eventually clog (doesn't all filter do that) from the oil and would not be as effective then.
Do you have a picture of the oil seperator you just bought?
