If you *do* tap into the harness that feeds the PCV valve, then several things:

1) keep the tap location close to the intake manifold
2) drill a small .040 inch diameter hole in the harness and tap into that small hole
3) the small hole does two things: keep the flow disturbance to a minimum, allow more air flow to the PCV valve.
4) do not restrict the harness air line to the PCV valve, as this *will* change the tuning to the PCV valve, adversely affecting how the system works.

We make PCV valves at work, so do not take this system lightly.
