Fitted up ok, looks cheap and nasty so I'll paint it black soon, but the car needs one so it should do the job well. The kit didnt come with the correct fittings so I coudnt run the hose back to the intake ( pre turbo ) but I had a little filter that I stuck on it until I go to Pirtek tomorow. Anyone done this too?

seventytwo Still have a turbo, it's just on a diesel.

Its put inbetween the crankcase vent valve and the intake piping. The oily air that comes out of the valve passes into the catch can and the oil is trapped there.I have a drift spec oil catch can in the garage, still havent figured out the best place to put it yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got some larger diameter hose ( couldnt get black ) and plumbed it into the intake pipe between turbo and air filter.Ive done this as I can smell oil after a big run on boost without the can plumbed in.All good now, no smelly oil in the cabin.

Guest Guests Posted 26/12/06 06:01 AM Share Posted 26/12/06 06:01 AM These things are a good idea and can't fig out why FPV don't fit them to their BOSS donks.All that carring on about burning to much oil in the Bosses and all they need in one of these.Mate of mine crys about how much oil his GT eats and yet will not spend $50 to $100 to fix it.Good track mod for weekend punters too. Well done on the photos and on this mod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
