APS turbo inlet with dual oil catch cans?
Hey everyone, I recently installed the APS turbo inlet (PITA) and am happy with the results I got. Now I want to move onto installing the dual oil catch cans after reading about how one just won't cut it. But at the same time, since the new APS inlet joins the PCV and the breather lines attached to the intercooler into ONE hose (enlarged, 3/4") via a T and that goes into one port on the inlet pipe. They are no longer 2 separate systems the way Subaru designed. So I was wondering how should I go about doing this.....if anyone has experience with this concerning the APS turbo inlet pipe, please give your input and pictures. Thanks in advance.

I'm also wondering this as well.
I have a single catch can and it worked well but since the PCV and CCV is recommended to be separated the only thing to do is to add in a second catch can.
I cannot see putting a tee connection on the front side intake port since that will keep the two connected and not separated.
Anyone?

They are still seperate. I had this setup for a while. To be honest with you, don't waste your money on catching the PCV. After two years, I never had a drop in the PCV can. The CCV on the if you're still runninga a TMIC just pull the can inlet off of the OEM CCV manifold or run new hoses, then tie it into the new line that comes off the T that APS supplies. I found that mounting the can in the back left corner of the engine bay above the turbo heat shield worked well. We found that it is important to maintain at least the OEM hose diameter if running the can. One of the engineers from APS that I was in contact with for quite some time, stressed this point.
