Just the intake hose, it's on the backside of the valve cover. You can see that you don't have to remove anything but the hose after you find it. Do you have a Haynes/Chilton's manual? If not, they are a good investment.

I saw your other post about the catch can. No need for all of that, you end up just taking space in the engine bay. All you need is this.

Do you see that fuel filter that I've mentioned a couple times already? $5 I think they are.

I am guessing the intake hose is the one connected to the PCV valve? And thats the only thing i have to remove, right?

About that oil catch can, did you mean breather instead of FUEL FILTER? I understand, that I dont need the oil catch can, but I figure it would help out more than a breather/ air filter. The oil catch can in the other hand will hold that oil and not let it run to the turbo.

Only if you are leaking more oil than you can put in, in a day, lol.
And I did mean fuel filter. That filter that you see in the pic is a fuel filter. The other pic of a filter in place of the breather valve is just as you said a filter. The only thing is, if you do have blow by, you will be spewing that same amount of oil into the engine bay instead of into a catch can or filter, so I wouldn't recommend you using that at this time, lol.
That fuel filter is cheap and easy. Figure out your issue first and then you can buy a catch can later if you still desire. A fuel filter like that one will allow you to see how much oil is coming out of the crankcase without looking too hard, just a matter of lifting the hood, taking a peek, then closing it back up. See, simple. It only takes a matter of cutting the breather tube in half and pushing the ends of them onto the fuel filter nipple and your done. A zip tie on either end wouldn't hurt either.

That hose coming off the PCV valve does go into a nipple on the intake manifold.
