pcv valve question

I am currently installing a pro charger on my 02 f150 boss 5.4. I have the install pretty much done but one step has me stumped. The step says to insert 5/8 90degree barb elbow into the driver's side pcv elbow and then to run a 5/8 line to the intake. I thought the pcv was on the passenger side valve cover and the breather tube was on the driver's side valve cover. Where am I going wrong? I can clearly see the pcv in the passenger side valve cover and the line from the pcv runs to the idle air solenoid. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I don't know what those instructions are referring to because I just replaced my PCV valve on my 01 5.4L and its definetly on the passenger side valve cover. I would call the company and ask if there is a typo.

Don't sweat the terminology. PCV stands for Positive Crankcase Ventilation. It is often confused as meaning the valve. Both sides of the valve cover are part of the PCV system. The valve is on the passenger side and the breather is on the driver side. The driver side goes to the inlet piping of your Procharger. In your instructions page 31 you should have Illustration H1. Upper left hand side it reads "to 90° rubber PCV elbow (driver's side valve cover".
