WhitePrincess Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 (edited) I have two questions: 1. What do Oil Catch Cans do (other than looking pretty under the bonnet)? 2. Where/how does it connect? These questions might sound a bit basic, forgive me for that, never looked into it Thanks in advance.

SmittyR33 Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 (edited) Well I installed my catch can for 2 reasons. Firstly I have an aftermarket turbo, which I run more boost than standard, and a custom intake which I have not plumbed the cam cover breathers into because - I have seen that from time to time for a variety of reasons my engine has had a bit of "blow by" and as a result vapourised oil from the crank case has passed into the intake and turbo and collected in my intercooler and some has gone back into the engine. Over a period of time the oil will eventually build up in the intercooler and you will have to pull it off to drain it and also there will bit an amount of performance loss etc. The catch can collects this vapourised oil instead of it being deposited into the intercooler etc. There are a few threads on how to hook them up on here too. If you need a photo and explanation of how I have mine just pm me. Hope this helps you! Smitty PS. Secondly mine Cusco one looks all pretty cos its polished.
