No worries RedDrifter, I misinterpret too.

pplo, looks like your diagram is correct. Thats how I would have it set up. Block the PCV & inlet to turbo. If your catchcan has 2 inlets, I'd run 2 hoses from either side of the cam cover instead of just 1 side in your diagram.

Cheers!

I want a catch can....where can u get a decent one for a decent price??

I saw a link to this somewhere on the forums before, and though 'hey - I can do that'.

Of course, I havn't yet... but I still want to.

Has anyone used something like described here? (air compressor filter)

I guess you'd want it bigger, but atleast you can see how much oil is in it, and it looks tidier and not as obvious (in my opinion) to a big stainless canistor.

I have also read (I think in that thread...been reading a lot) that you can/should run 2 catch cans? Is that right?

Cheers

Cheers pplo. Glad to be of some help.

eXc, thats a 'catch' that goes in line between your PCV on your cam cover and inlet manifold. It collects the oil that would otherwise end up in your intake manifold. You can also use it between the cam cover and turbo intake if the barbs are of the correct size.

Basically an 'inline catch can' like GReddy's design but smaller. You can't have these venting atmo.

I've got a Cusco catch can with a total of two inlet/outlets only. I guess that make it inline?? Can it be vented atmo?

If I vent it atmo will I need to place a filter on the remaining fitting?

Anyone with pics/diagrams showing a fitted catch can with only two fittings?

Cheers

U can have it either way.I had mine inline until I upgraded the turbo and intake.

its vented to atmo atm. I would use a filter as if the police see it not filtered u most likely will get defected.

As this is very illegal.

    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
    • Yeah man, absolutely. You can try pushing me all the way in swapping the R34 for an E9x M3 
    • It's almost certainly going to be some amount of pads compound transfer onto the rotors. It will probably go away after you've run them for a bit. If not, pull it all out, lightly sand the rotors, scuff the pads, and rebed.
    • no one recommending speedtek gearsets?   i'm in the same boat as Cosline but rwd, I am holding boost back in third to 600nm at the hubs to save the gear as i make nearly 750nm at the hubs on a mainline
