I get why all of you in the States run the 70mm the power delivery over the 75mm puts a on my face.

Opted for the D1 Spec Oil Catch Can, as the local Subaru racers use them and highly recommend. For $100 this can is super quality and well made. Battled to find a easy spot to fit, so once again the tower brace came in handy, just uses U bolts to clamp. Took for a spin after 100km could see small amounts of oil in the clear pipes, so it works. Will change the clear pipes to proper black rubber pipes next week.

Then something small, but also highly recommended by the race team, is increasing your radiator cap pressure, our OEM cap is rated at 1.1 bar, I increased the cap pressure to 1.3 bar. I got the TRD cap initially, but opted to get the D1 Spec to match color.
Upping the valve opening pressure of the pressure regulator on the radiator cap to allow higher radiator pressure increases the boiling point of the coolant, reduces bubbles, improves cooling, and generally maximizes the cooling performance of the radiator.

Here some pics installed.
What's the part # on the radiator cap and the Blue Gates belt? Is the blue gates belt K060815RB (Blue)? Is it the same for the 75mm and the 70mm pulleys?
