Ok, so right now I just have a breather filter(somewhat dirty) on the PCV system.On the VW I ran a free flow,just had a couple hoses with a T and dumped on the ground.I am not concerned with passing emissions,have a hookup. Would you guys spend the cash money for a shiny catch can ?or just have a couple lines hooked up and dumped? -Duke LaDuke ---

Completly remove PCV system, free flow that bitch into this already fucked enviroment. But really, I run no PCV parts at all. Blocked the black box hole, run breathers into a catch can. ---

Laduke your already the fail master No need to spend money on shiney catch cans when you can make one yourself! ![http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g186/Newlser/Picture124.jpg](http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g186/Newlser/Picture124.jpg) No but srsly… you can find cheap catch cans on ebay like 10 bucks… or make one yourself… youd be amazed at what you can make catch cans out of that look good… I’ve seen some crazy shit Legit catch cans have a baffle in them forcing the flow of air to go to the bottom of of the can and then rise upwards to keep the oil at the bottom… Some chepa catch cans have this baffle others dont, but the cheap ones will still do the job, just not as good. ---

Looks retarted and ghetto yes Waste of time no… Although the fittings being right next ot eachother is stupid … but it would work just fine… As I said before, All a more expsensive catch can has that a beer can/rock star can wont is a baffle that helps keep the oil/air seperated… Granted I wouldent use a beer can, but hey its free ---

Do NOT do this. Runnin it back to the intake of the turbo can really fuck shit up. Depending on how much blow by your havin ou can at some times blow oil out of these catch can lines.
