Oil catch can to fit with Alta CAI?

I've been searching the threads and web, and I can't find an answer. I like the Riss can but it looks like it will not fit with the Alta intake. The M7 is nice too, but appears to work only if the air inlet tube is removed.

I'm trying to avoid getting a universal one and drilling any unnecessary wholes in my car.

Thanks for any help.

I will if I have to. However, I would rather get a ready to use kit type thing

I did just go out and look under the hood. It looks like there might be some room on the right (left looking at the car) side cowl, as it looks like the Alta CAI will be shorter on that side than the stock box.

Maybe an M7 with longer hoses if I can't find a can that will fit with the supplied brackets.

M7 cc kit comes with enough hose,pass on the alta hot air intake and buy a dos cold air intake that will give you tons of room to mount the catch can,meth pump and nitrous.

I already ordered the Alta intake. With the sale they're having + 15% coupon it was $169.99. Couldn't pass on a deal like that... I do like the looks of the dos as well though.

Meth pump and N20? You should have seen the look on my Fiancé's face when I told her about the stuff I ordered already!

And showing her the Youtube video of the BOV did not help AT ALL...
