this is an air/oil separator, which does a different job. you're paying for 300 worth of engineering and saving your motor.

Saving my motor from what, exactly? Are you telling me Subaru built me a motor that will NOT last >250k miles?

If these things are so VITAL then why do OEMs not include them during design and manufacturing?

Agree that the water is what makes it look so gross when drained. Worth $180 more for the luxury of not having to drain every once in a while? Not to me. Especially since the Moroso is so easy to drain where it's mounted.

no not saying that, in stock form yes. once we tamper with turbo kits, blah blah, then we want a little more cushion. the a/o separator is great.

Valid point, but go pull an top mount off an STi/WRX and see how much blowby sits in the TMIC or intake manifold.

Granted thats a turbocharged motor but just trying to play devils advocate a little bit. Just because it didn't come from the factory, doesn't mean it can't help. Hell, look at the stock tunes that came with the 07 STi.

After seeing the pics of the engine with 5k miles on it and the amount of build up i just hope its not too late. Hopefully we can get the group buy price to around $250 thats what i feel comfortable paying anyways.

It's never too late for a Seafoam treatment via the brake booster vaccum line into the intake/combustion chamber/gas tank/oil pan to help remove some of the build up. I've used it in other cars with great results.

you guys need to hit up a vendor for a group buy.

I just hit up Titan Performance with a PM seeing as they chimed in saying they would do a GB on it. I'll let everyone know what they say or what we would have to do to get this going.

JoeBoxer · 09-13-2012, 01:19 PM

We have talked to crawford already about it and they are in contact with their vendors.

xxscaxx · 09-13-2012, 01:57 PM

ok cool. was only trying to help.

simpleisbest · 09-13-2012, 02:07 PM

If there is a group buy, count me in!

zoomzoomers · 09-13-2012, 03:38 PM

I might be interested in a GB, if the price is more around $250.
