Catch can options
« on: 27 March 2013, 17:35 »
Hi I'm going to be fitting a catch can (finally) when the British weather gets milder.
What's the most common catch can people go for as I want to keep it simple & look OEM ?
Cheers.

why exactly do the ports have to be 19mm out of interest?

All the piping is 19mm, I went for an ebay square black one and got some adapters made, cost all in (piping etc) less than the Michi alone

I really dont think you need that metal scourer in there my man.
It's not really separating anything and it looks like your returning back to the TIP. Wouldn't fancy any of that making its way to the turbo.

The type of can I hav isn't baffled hence the reason why stainless steel scourers help slow down air speed (allowing the oil vapor time to drop from the air)....what do others who hav catch cans use ?
