Default PCV Oil Catch Can GROUP BUY!

Fellow rennlisters,
I am organizing a group buy for this catch can:

http://www.accmachtech.com/pcvcatchcans.htm

this is an oil catch can built by Accurate Machine Works and is a universal unit.
In a different thread, theedge posted why a catch can is nice to have in a post, I hope he doesn't mind me quoting him:

Originally posted by theedge
The crankcase is under pressure, so it needs a vent to prevent from popping all the gaskets when running hard. That vent is a hose that connects to the j boot, the problem is it lets oil through the hose into the intake and into the combustion chambers. Pull off one of your intercooler pipes and have a look, its nasty in there and turbo blowby makes it worse.

This can catches the oil before it gets to the intake. Advantage of which is less oil in the cumbustion chamber... Meaning more room for air and gas
https://rennlist.com/forums/showthre...hreadid=145363
Of course, these symptoms are experienced in all 944's, NA or turbo, so this is for all of us!

The price of this catch can is 88 dollars plus 8 dollars shipping to make a total of $96.00. Our Rennlist deal will be $88.00 shipped, instead of $96.00 shipped.
Of course, I have the approval of John D. and I have been in contact with Accurate Machine Works.
Who's in?

These cans are awesome!

We installed one on Campeck's car and it really catches the oil! I was surprised how much it caught the first time we emptied it. And to think it was all being routed back to be burned!

Curious to know a little more about whats involved with installation also.

campeck, do you have the 16 inch turbo phone dials on your car, or are those the 15x7's?

I think the install is quite easy... looks like connect a couple hoses and mount, but mounting might require drilling, depends where you want to put it.
