yes it comes w/ all the required fitting hardwares and hoses. Our catch can hoses are longer than the ones provided by Greddy Unit.

Looks nice. I've been wanting to put one in my F-XT after I removed the IC and found some oil in the hoses. I just ordered one and I'll put a page on our site after I get it installed.

Thanks,

Peaty

Hey Matt6669,

The Oil Catch can catches the oil and moisture in the blow-by gas that causes carbon and sludge build-up in the intake system and the engine. It keeps the engine clean even under hard driving conditions. It is also an excellent engine dress up item that gives a racecar look.

thanks,

Cal

gruppe-s,

Do you support the GC8 platform any more? Looked at your site and only a couple of items were listed, everything else was for the newer WRX/STi (I understand why). But I did not see items such as raditator shrouds, bushings, brake lines, etc.. that was represented by at your site for the 02+ platforms. If you do can you let me know where on your site they would be as I am interested in some parts such as the radiator shroud, brake lines, etc...

Got mine the other day. It's nice However I'm trying to find a place to locate it under my hood. I have a Forester XT and so far I can't find a good spot. Most seem to put it in front of the battery but for me there is an AC sensor in that location. More later w/ pics if I can get it installed.

After much farting around I managed to find a spot for it:





I had to make a simple bracket to mount it but it wasn't all that tough. I used existing bolts to secure it. I'll be doing a page eventually for anyone interested.

That is an awesome page, Peaty. Thanks for the write up. I now feel I could competently (at least semi-competently) do it for my WRX. I, too, have blow-by oil in my intercooler hoses.
