Default Oil catch can

What kind of catch can do you guys have in your car? Thinking about putting one in and getting a cheapo can off ebay.

Be careful with some of the cheap ebay cans. I have heard horror stories of them not working very well.

I just threw one on mine (turbo side) so that oil from the crank case doesn't get vented into the intake anymore. When I changed out my stock intake for the aftermarket one it was gross what was inside it....therefore also inside your intercooler and turbo as well. Next up will be the one for off of the PCV. From what Ive read, its even more drastic on that side from all the blowby. So truly, you'll need two. Mine are red anodized cans off of ebay. Feel pretty solid. Im happy with them. And they come with two sized nipples which are interchangeable. This helps simplify because on the intake side the PCV valve and vent going into the crank case are two different sized hoses. This can eliminates the need for an inline reducer.

Here's a great DIY for installing a catch can for BOTH sides (PCV and turbo side) using one can.

I use two of the $20 ebay cans, one on each side. They have held up well for the last two years. On the bottom I've screwed in a brass hose nipple then lead a hose down to the subframe. Here is where I drain them every oil change.

I got a good deal on the AGP catch can and breather from a member it works great. They are high priced new though but get the job done very well!

Thanks for the ebay link, there are so many out there so its helpful when members can be specific.



Looks pretty good, is it easy to drain? Working well so far?

Havent needed to drain it yet but looks to be very easy. Brass knob on the bottom side that unscrews whenever you're ready to drain. So far so good. Looks great too. Very solid piece. Not flimsy at all.
