i don't have pics of it, but if you have ever washed/scrubbed a pot, you have surely seen the stuff. then again, this is evom, so i wouldn't be surprised if some had never washed a dish in their life haha.
here is a link to kind of what I used, close enough:

is this worth doing I need a catch can and I was pretty much set on the DC3.

That can that you bought is it set up like the DC3?

Does the inlet go down to the bottom of he container forcing the vapor up or does it just go into the canister?
hers what I mean, http://www.saikoumichi.com/OCC_explanation.htm


I know this is cheap but I would rathe spend the money on something that is for sure to work.

thanks

Yes I and others have said this works and is worth doing.
No,it does not ALREADY have it built in, and this is exactly what I was describing in the end of the write-up... like I said it could be done if you want. I had planned to, but just never got around to it, because honestly, it works very well without it already.

With a lot of tuning lately, along with doing a few boost test, I've been removing my Intake off a lot. I've noticed with this Home Made CC that Hokiruu has shown us, I'm getting zero oil on the Turbo compressor inlet. I think the more miles that are put on it, the better it works. It flows great and catches all the vapors, as long as you follow the instructions, on how to put it together.

More info? I'm a little nervous about metal particles coming off the baffle.

That is highly unlikely, as you put the baffle in as one continuous piece. Stainless steel does not just fall into pieces that easily either.
