I pulled off that intake hose the other day to change out my radiator and found black oil in my turbo.

Cars runs fine but this can't be good? I am going to need one of these catch cans to solve that issue.

That is why you want a really god catch can (DC3)....Capture oil before it goes into turbo (and covers your FMIC -- lowering the cooling efficiency) as well as catch oil before it goes into your intake manifold (lowering your effective octane)....I drain my catch cans about every 1k miles and am shocked how much oil is in both....

awsomeness,


I am confused! I have been racking my brain on this catch can conundrum. I have noticed that people who run the catch can to the intake/valve cover it doesnt' catch very much.

How about running it from the PCV valve and getting the vacuum from the connect point on the intake manifold????

And it is only $49!!!


Looks like im going for the RRE as well.

wow i was jsut looking at catch cans again and i saw the buschur one as one with a good design was going to ask if anyone has experience with this catch can? i might just make a custom one based off their design since i think that $260 for a can is a little overboard.

260 is a little bit too overboard for a catch can. Im going to have to agree with you on that one, sir.
