I've had mine in for nearly 770 miles (installed @ 11,036 miles, currently @ 11,805 miles) and the way I drive I average ~20 mpg and have worn the rear tires (on the track wheels set) to the wear bars in less than 8k miles. This is how much it's picked up so far:

are you connected to the pcv hose or the breather tube?

Using the PCV routing and there are no longer screens on the Radium cans; new design uses the stainless 'brillo' material as the filter media.

Also, I'm running 5W30 Redline Full Synthetic oil.

Thanks for your response. Those habits in a turbo subaru would give you enough oil to fry mozzarella sticks. Its obviously working, but at a much more negligible level than some other cars.

I dont know timelines but I will be working on a forced induction radium dual can setup this month with DIY as well.

Will work with Radium too see if they can help with a bracket. They are watching this thread so keep the designs coming.

Wow if Radium really is going to design something specifically for our car I would gladly pay them. I've got my tax return waiting for you Radium! lol

why is this?

So I had mine mounted like neutron256 but with a CF plate. Turns out the CF plate cracked where one of the u-bolts attached, so I completely stole his idea and used a piece of 1/8" aluminum plate instead. Not having a CNC at my disposal, one of my holes was off.

I did have six holes drilled in the radium bracket so it's plenty sturdy.

I did pony up the money for the 90 degree outlet fitting in the end. I do think the best mounting would be a bracket like the Crawford/Cusco mounted to the back firewall above the trans.

Not sure there is enough room to take the reservoir off on the Radium can if mounted like the Crawford AOS.

xwd · 04-12-2013, 04:36 PM

I think there would be, there is a ton of hood clearance near the firewall.

The Crawford can is a bit bigger than the Radium one and if you look at installed pictures, there is still a couple inches you could raise the can above where it currently mounts.

Seems as if this car does not have heavy amounts of oil sucked through the system.
