Default Megan Racing Oil Catch Can Question

I am bout to install it on my SR, but I'm a lil confused on the best way. I have read many different posts online of what is correct and what isn't, but they all say different things. As many of you probably know the catch can has 2 ports on top and 1 on the bottom for the oil lines. But...I have a Isis intake pipe and it doesn't have a bung on it like the stock pipe does for a oil line. So should I run the bottom port to the block and one top port to the "T" on the valve cover and either cap off/ or put a filter on the other port? Like I said I am lost on what to do so if anyone knows the correct way please help me.
--thanx

to do it correctly, you need to have that bung on the intake pipe... all other methods, as well as the little filter are wrong...

temporarily, you can just run it vented, at least until you can run it properly with a GReddy or APEXi intake pipe that has the fitting for the oil line...
