Noob question: Does anyone know what wire this is that I've arrowed. Is it ok to relocate where its mounted? Trying to set up my dual Saikou cans and this seems the best spot for it, but this wire is on a red bolt and I am not sure if it's ok to mount it someplace else to make room.

Ground.

Mine are under the intake box on the. Easiest to route the hoses IMO. I tried your spot but the brackets that come with the cas don't lend itsel to. Clean installl on the shock tower

There is already threaded usable holes on the drivers side engine compartment panel under intake. It'll function fine either way.

You should be able to keep it there, assuming you are using the bolt hole to mount your catch cans, just bolt the ground strap on top (and grind the paint off the ground point while you are at it). The SXTH setup does this...

I relocated that ground to the coolant bottle bolt just below, and make a bracket for the Saikou catch cans out of a scrap piece of aluminum.

In this earlier picture, I was direct-venting the breather loop to a small filter. I later had to route that futher away to control the smell.

I tried relocating the filter to a couple of places in the engine bay, and further back under the car, but eventually routed the line back to my air intake out of frustration over the smell. Not exactly ideal. Probably not necessary if you don't notice the fumes.
