I was planning on buying one for the evo but i want to know what it is and how does it work ?

 

I'm assuming you meant catch 'can'?

 

It is placed between the intake and the valve cover to catch blow by oil/grime etc. It's purpose is to prevent this grime from collecting in the turbo. You can also just put a breather filter on the valve cover and plug the hole on the intake, it will serve the same purpose.

 

Not trying to flame, but why are you considering purchasing something if you don't know what it's purpose is?

 

cause it looks cool?

 

Yes it was catch can, sorry about the typo and i haven't bought it yet, thats the purpose of this thread

 

How and why are you planning to buy one without knowing what it is or how it works

Search my friend!

 

A shiny object that people think looks neato under the hood.

I have one installed on my current car, and its been a great investment. Since the installation, I now no longer have any oil in the intercooler and turbo hoses. Having all of this stuff out of the hoses does prolong turbo life, so its a good investment.

 

mmmm chrome can looking thing... must buy.... lol... anh but u should go ahead and get it... as mentioned above a clean engine is a good running engine + it adds sum bling under the hood. Check out the one made by weapon R it fits onto the strut brace and looks very nice!!!

 

U can make one for cheap
