Save your money on the Breather tube catch CANS..They are pretty much worthless!!
 
Save your money and effort on the secondary catch can since I have been using it for the last couple track events and not a single drop of oil collected, and that's with a Supercharger kit !!! I also have to say, I don't baby my car :D somehow I managed to destroy my gaskets and bolts on my CBE at the last event but still not a single drop on the breather side catch can ..FYI they are both baffled

PCV side on the other hand is a must even for NA cars ..see below to see how much oil I collected after a single event

It's highly dependent on the motor, some motors seal very well and while others have enough blowby and pressure that the breather line is heavily utilized, I have seen several people on here having to clean out the intercoolers already.

can you clarify which one is breather and which is your pvc in your last picture?

interesting maybe with higher power /turbo but in my case it was definitely worthless..Have you checked yours and seen any oil buildup ?

Those are nice little catch cans. I have one in black. Are you running a element in the little baffle chamber? I may have to add one as the return tube to the mani on mine had a bit of oil residue in it.

one more question.
there are two connections there, are you splicing into the left, right or both.

shitty ass gaskets...

This depends on a lot of factors on a NA car I probably wouldn't even consider one. It's not going to do one. But I had my front hose disconnected on the dyno one day and you could clearly see smoke coming out of mine. Mind you I am on a built engine with boost.

Run vent to atmosphere with no filters and run the tubes behind the car. Your rear vehicle driver will appreciate it.

My car is currently factory stock in terms of engine performance related hardware save for the drop in air filter.

This was found in the oil catch can after around 1500-2000 miles of street driving, mostly just putting around.

Oil catch can is a good investment even if you are completely stock IMHO.

again, I have been boosting for a while with track use still not a single drop..maybe at those power levels (that I see in your signature), have you been running the catch can since you saw this smoke?
