So the install procedure involves cutting the existing line and plopping this unit inline, I understand that much.
Can I get some specifics on how the connection is made? From what I can tell the factory breather line is a hard corrugated plastic, and it looks like the kit hose clamps some 5/8" fuel/oil hose (or equivalent) over the outside of it with a hose clamp. How does this not collapse, crack, or otherwise further damage the plastic line? What about leakage?

This should answer any questions you may have in regards to how it attaches to the factory system.
The ridges built into the OEM hose seal exceptionally well on the coupler, like a multi-barb connection. Both hose and coupler are vacuum rated. The only thing I could see that could be problematic is if you gorilla tightened the hose clamp on the coupler that fastens to the OEM hose. If you grossly overtighten, it could collapse the hard plastic hose. These connections are all vacuum connections and the couplers are all snug to begin with. The connections will seal without any clamps, but they are added to prevent anything from coming apart due to vibration.

The only thing I could see to make this better would be to add a tab for the zip tie to go through or have the cone section made with a groove for the zip tie to ride in. It wants to slide down the cone if you don’t have it tied over the top edge of the plastic.

Perfect, thanks.

Does anyone know what the purpose of the plastic "valve" that is attached to the intake pipe is for? The breather hose connects directly to this, and then to the intake elbow. I like the idea of this catch can as having oil into just one turbo isn't the best. I'm fabricating some intake pipes and need to connect the breather pipe in. Most cars just have the hose going straight into the turbo intake, so not sure what this unit is, perhaps a restrictor?

We have a coupe different valves in development right now (and intake tubes, which we've been testing for the last year). Shoot me a DM and I can give you more details and I might even have an older or used one we can part with.
FYI on the intake tubes, it's one of the parts Porsche did a really good job on. I HIGHLY recommend using a flow bench to verify your work so you don't spend a ton of time making a downgrade. I wish it were as simple as a larger round tube, it is not. We've 7 versions deep at this point and I've run CFD sims on well over 100 variations. Again, if you'd like to talk more on this feel free to shoot me a DM.
