looking for a decent oil catch can... i don't want to get a $10 ebay special can cause i'm having issues with running rich and i know that if i get one that it will just end up leaking... if you have anything please let me know

I currently have an ebay brand catch can on my turbo 5s and it hasn't leaked yet even when i run rich so i'd say $10 for one on ebay would be good. If your just wanting to eliminate the oil blow-by from the IC piping then get one on ebay and connect one hose to valve cover (right side next to your hoist hook) and the other hose can either be vented to atmosphere (like mine) or you can just put a filter on it. I have had my occ for 6 months and i've only cleaned it once (quarter inch of res.) Great luck.


You can see a picture of my catch can hookup in my profile.

thanks for the help but i have a 3s which runs an AFM, i can't run a filter on it or vent to atm, it has to be recirculated which is why i'm running rich (currently its vented to atm with no catch can), also if yours leaked (air not oil) you wouldn't be able to notice since you're running MAP, its a big difference on my car
