Catch Can Really Works!

[flashbk2]

Yes I left the filters in both of mine ! Kinda doubt it had mine installed for about 7,000 miles. Other than emptying every couple weeks no issues.

after doing research and talking with you people amd others , the catch can is a good thing, and as mean green has said check your oil often. if you are running S1 or high boost then you will have blow by and a catch can will prevent the oil from getting on the turbo. for all your info I thank you for I am still learning about Turbos.

I took the filter elements out after they were dark brown/black in color.
I removed and blew through the filter.
Without the element there is much better airflow.
Put them back without the filter elements.

Ive had mine in about 10k miles.

PS- I have filters on both sides of the PCV system.
No more oil in the airbox.

I put one catch can in-line with the PCV this weekend (Sat) already a quarter full.

After I read your post I am thinking about another near the air box.
The bottom of that air box was *really* dirty, oil and road grim/salt all over the place, with the K&N more could get sucked into the turbo, $25.00 the "catch can" is well worth it in my opinion.

PS I notice your license plate is mounted below the front bumper, some say it restricts the air flow to the cooler, had any issues with that?

The airbox side only gets a few drops for every other time the PCV side is emptied.
Works for me.

PianT the plate doesnt seem to be affecting anything.
Long term it may be questionable, but I dont care.
Since that picture ive made a bracket and moved it.
The bottom of the plate is now level with the bottom of the front fascia.
Leaves about 2 more inches above for air.

IMO, my heavy foot will be more likely to damage the engine/drivetrain!
