Nice! I need to get one on my car sooner or later. Ryan and I were talking about it and it seems that blow-by is pretty persistent on our cars.

yeah i set mine up like sams and it seems to be working better
all you do is put a breather on each head and hook the catch can to the block and another breather on the catch can cause he is right about nothing even coming out of the heads
i would change the tubing that comes with the can i heard it won't last long the clear hoses are suppose to be crappy

whoa, where did i go wrong then, this is what alan said i should do..... where are the block vents, as opposed to the heads, and yeah, this shit was nasty, i pulled the tube that dumps back into the intake, and its awful...

no you did it the normal way i had mine set up that way for a while but i saw sam's setup and i have recently changed it to that and it seems to work better apparently theres little to nothing coming out of the heads so a breather is sufficient but there is a hose coming up from the block directly into the intake its right in front of the turbo and if you pull that tube off you will see the oil thats circulating through the turbo
next time i see you i'll show you my setup but its nothing major to worry about i just did it to see if it would help my oil consumption problem
