Oil Catch can ??

For you guys that have them installed. Do run 2 of them, 1 for vlv covers and one for the crank or just 1 off the vlv covers.

Thanks, Troy

catch cans are not a bad thing, when used properly it will help prolong the life of your turbo.

but as far as that goes, a water bottle T'ed off from the PVC valve will do the trick, no need for bling.

whats a good amount? if you run your finger across the tbody it should def. feel oily. this little bit of oil eventually ends up in the combustion chamber, burning away just like any other good ol hydrocarbon .
it won't hurt much if it's a "normal" amount of oil... make the valves a bit dirtier than they normally would be and maybe mess with the octane of the fuel by some tiny fraction.
if you got so much oil in there that if you were to take off the IC and have it drip oil, that would be a problem. all that oil being burned, you would notice it on the dipstick level, exhaust smoke.. etc..
