Save your money on the Breather tube catch CANS..They are pretty much worthless!!

Same catch can installed on NA.
Picture is only after 3 weeks of DD(about 1k miles) with very few times of WOT.

Oh and any one who has same can on NA car experienced CEL?
Mine throw CEL with this until I used teflon tape on every single thread it has.

Yeah, if there was a vacuum leak in the catch can the unsteady idle should have hinted you before the CEL came on. I had to put teflon tape on all the threaded fittings as well. Are you using the same ADD catch can that i'm using? If so, try throwing some scrubbers or screen in the baffle chamber.

Ran a generic moroso initially, didn't catch much.

When will my motor implode since I don't really think I need a catch can?

I doubt it, but you will end up with oil residue in the intake mani and possibly the back of your intake valves.

I'm not 100% positive but I believe it does. You will have to make your own. I've seen people use stainless scouring pads for 'scrubbers' in catch cans lol. I imagine you can cut some scotchbright pads in the correct diameter and use that as well. Or hit up the hardware store for some metal screen and cut with a hole saw the correct diameter. I think that's what Radium uses as baffle in the catch cans. The stronger the vacuum the more material you need and vice versa. The idea is to catch vaporized oil in the air before it goes into the intake mani.

i made my catch can from a can of nair.

my balls got shiny as a bonus

In all fairness the Moroso can is junk. Have you pulled your IC to see if you have any oil accumulation yet?
Its more of a maintenance item to keep intake manifold and IC free of sludge. Sure it helps intake valves too but much less an issue with the port injection on this car.

It's not dry but it's not oily, if that makes sense

This is after 4 track days and aprox 5k miles of daily driving. I don't quite understand how some of you are getting sooooooo much blowby.

Cause they beat the crap out of the car and rev it high more than you I suppose

For those using Teflon tape make sure you are using the proper kind meant for contact with petroleum.
If you're using the super thin white stuff it typically dissolves in gasoline, just dip it in some and see..

Lots of people messing with fuel lines make that mistake..

Don't think it would be a huge problem since we are talking about vacuum lines no fuel lines, but good to know regardless.

Loctite 567 thread sealer is much better than thread tape for npt fittings

Why? The IC is pre-PCV. The PCV doesn't dump into the IC unless you are talking about innovate twin screw IC?

Are you talking about the breather? That doesn't seem to blow out any oil.
