Sorry for the bumping an old topic, but I have such question: what is the advantages of oil catch cans install them in a turbo engines or it's a waste of time/money?
Thanks -------------------- |

boosted cars see more gases in the crankcase than NA cars. Those gases are impregnated with oil droplets that end up coating the inside of your intake piping and manifold once they pass through the pcv valve. The problem that arises for turbocharged cars comes from having the intercooler coated in a layer of this purged oil. It just lowers the overall cooling efficiency. Your car wont explode but it wont be running at its best after a while.

i have mine setup the way rusty drew it, vent to atmo. if the crank case needs to breathe, it will breathe.
both ports on my rocker cover have AN flares welded on, no pcv. both lines go to the tank, nothing back into the intakes i dont see the problem with this setup, i see it as the best way?? I might consider putting a filtered line from the catch tank back to the intake pipe? -- i wouldn't do this on the beams due to the AFM -------------------- Mike W
