Oil catch can set up for 2006 wrx STI
This is the system I installed on my 2006 WRX STI. I have had it on for about 5,000 miles and it seems to work very well. I have not measured how much oil it has caught but there is definitely oily residue inside the cans. I have two of them. One is mounted off of the PVC Valve and the other is coming off of the valve cover breathers. I have fabricated over 30 of these lines for guys around town, they are all very happy with them. I used alluminum tubing and covered them with norprene tubing so it would look stock. It works with most catch cans out there but i am running two Perrin Catch Cans. I really wanted a system that looked factory and I couldn't find them anywhere so i spent a couple of months fiddling with different set ups.....i finally came up with this!

Frnakly, I'm surprised catch cans aren't OEM on turbo cars, since dumping the can into your dirty oil after an oil change is better for the environment than burning the vapors anyway. I'd run one personally.. if I had a turbocharged car that is.
