Eh, so I guess another catch can gets added to the do not buy list . Thanks for the feedback.

I have the stock battery, stock upper IC pipe etc and I had no problem installing my pro-1 catch can. I tucked it underneath the front strut tower brace (As you are looking at the engine from the front of the car, the can is underneath the right side of the brace). I will also take a pic and post it up. The install was simple. I did not use any "special" technique or process. I bought aftermarket black hose from Autozone (I didn't like the transparent blue hose that came with the unit...too obvious). I plugged one end of the hose to the valve cover, the other end to the left side port of the can. Ran the second hose from the second port on the can to the nipple on the intake pipe. If you want to baffle, you can unscrew the ports on top of the can and stuff some wire mesh down the hole.

Dude, I am NOT saying you can't use it. Just that you probably can't mount it in the same spot I did. I looked around and came up with my own solution.....buy the part and do the same for your car!

The catch can will make no appreciable difference, it is just put in line with the existing flow path from the cam cover to the stock intake to prevent oil buildup in your intake track.

Where was your oil leak that the dealer is blaming on to much crankcase pressure, and how do they plan to resolve your supposed crankcase pressure problems?

Are they trying to say your CRANK CASE PRESSURE is because of a MOD you did to your car? IF your EVO is bone stock and they make this claim, they need to just shut up and fix it!

Mitsu knows what hole they dug building the EVO8 stateside and if they get upset you tune the car they are idiots. The local Mitsu houses around DFW, Texas are very nice when it comes to modding your 8. I have heard some are not this way..

For your protection for EVERYONE
