Oil Breather cap
breather...
Goes on the passenger side. Look for the tube going into the supercharger intake and follow it back.
You might want to consider a filter like many of us have installed. The problem with a breather is you lose the "positive" part of PCV.
As the stock system operates, it has a vacuum effect that pulls air through the crankcase. If you just put a breather on, you will get stale air.
If you put a filter on, you keep air moving through the crankcase, but you get rid of the oil in the intake (bad).

inline filter..
You have an oil BREATHER filter. The other mod is an inline filter.
I haven't installed one myself, but here is how I understand the filter you have is installed:
Face the engine. Locate the supercharger intake behind the throttle.
Look at the left hand side (passenger) near the back. There should be the idle air controller and a tube running into the intake (not a wire, an acutal air tube).
Follow that tube back to a T junction. Follow the T juntion back till it goes into the passenger side cylinder head.
Place the filter there.
Can anyone who has actually installed one help him out?

PS: here's a thread with the filter I was talking about, it should get you started as to where to trace back:

Thanks Dan. Coldie..I thingk Dan answered my question. The Boost bypass mod was easy.
1)Find boost gauge signal line and connector
2)Remove the white plastic boost gauge signal line connector, and replace it with the T fitting.
3)Locate the pink line that connects Boost actuator solenoid to boost dump valve and pull it out of the boot.
4)Pull the pink line about 6" out from the harness and push on the vacuum boot included in the kit.
6)Now connect the other end of the vacuum boot to the previously installed T fitting.
7)Last put the vacuum boot plug into the boot where you found the pink line.
DONE. If I sound like I know what I'm talking about...I don't. These are instructions straight from JDM.
