Catch Can recommendations for FI

I'm sorry if this thread already exists but I couldn't find...I'm scouting out all the supporting mods I will need for a FI build and one basic one I want/need is an oil catch can. Anyone have any recommendations/testimonials they can share? I've seen some custom ones and cusco I know is popular, but I value the opinion of the people on this forum so...thanks in advance

I have one. I have an AVO turbo and an AVO catch can. It catches almost nothing. I mean 1/2 thimble full every few thousand miles. I hammer it hard on the street/highway. I am going to be tracking it a bit this next summer so I had it installed. The track is where you are likely to see some more action in the can. I installed it only because I don't want any oil going back into the system. Would it hurt? I doubt that little oil would have a an effect. It was an easy choice for me because it wasn't that expensive compared to my project so I figured what the hell.

Full Blown Motorsports (their setup that mounts off their included battery tie-down is slick. a bit high $) http://fullblownmotorsports.com/full...attery-tiedown

That or Radium Engineering single (or dual setup if you go mad tracking.) Mishimoto if also in the run if your dedicated funds suck.

Never cared for Cusco's polished offering. Too Univeral and out-of-place/tacky looking in our blacked out engine bays. Crawford is pushing it on high $cost$ being on of the more expensive ones. In all seriousness it is a simply design they they all tend to work relativly the same depending on where/how you mount them.

Does the AVO catch can allow for 4 fittings (i.e. 2 inlet and 2 outlets) so that it functions like a dual catch can? All pics I've seen only shows 3 fittings on the tank.

+1 for Radium. I've got the dual setup and it works great. Excellent fit and finish on the kit as well.

This is my version:



The oil cap also has a little hole in it.

This one is poised to be released early 2015, just another option out there. This air oil separator uses filters specifically designed and built for filtering oil and oil vapor.








This one was a earlier test mule model and has worked flawlessly. This is after 1500 typical DD miles. Not a single hint of oil in the hose going to the intake manifold.
