I have the small battery and mounted both right next to it. They are side by side and mounted to the tranny mount. Easy to get to, easy to drain. Like the others have said the intake mani/pvc side never has anything in it.

Damn, I really would like a blank one, I have no 'allegiance' to a particular company so I would just like the polished piece to dress it up. If anyone knows where to get one, I would love to hear.

Shouldn't the can be located below the line exits on the motor head so gravity can assist in the draining? I would think that position is too high. Anyway, I think below the BCS seems all around better as there is space and its pretty easy to drain.

So confused... so you really only need one drain can since the intake one never sees any oil???

I do not believe that is necessarily true... From what I have gathered, if you properly install the cans (below the level of the head and let gravity do work) both should collect something, because both lines will have blow by, however, the PVC line will have significantly more. I am not totally sure about this, but I have seen the aftermath of not using such a devise, and I have heard unequivocally that the DC3 is the best tank out there. I am installing a brand new FMIC and piping and have no desire to get it all clogged with oil. at $132 shipped, its cheap insurance.

Where are the connection points for the two can setup? Is there a tutorial that includes the connection points for the can. I have a one can setup that I have not install and I am trying to determine where are the correct points of connection. Right now the info I have is the one on evomoto for the 1 can install. Is that it? THis is the link for it http://evomoto.com/tech_info.php?tPa...daac1459218257

This is the one that collects the oil that ends up in the lower intercooler pipe and intercooler input port. When I replace the LICP it had oil on it so it must have come from the valve cover breather to turbo inle hose. There is no other place where oil could have come from. Right?

Protostar you made a good choice with the DC3 and no where mine is mounted works great. You're condensing vapor into liquid so the height doesn't matter as long as it's routed right and you get a good air vapor flow through it.

So what made you go with the single style and how come you didn't get the hose and clamps for the extra $20?

You plan to install under the battery by the boost solenoid?

How does the DC3 compare to the new Buschur catch can?

The Buschur can doesn't use any vacuum and won't pull out vapors.
