Saiko Catch-Can Install w/ Pics
Posting for posterity sakes and a few folks asked me to share pics - so here ya go.
Nice quality here - well made. I chose red to match the engine bay but you can get it in several colors including black and silver. It comes with the bracket and I chose to mount mine using the existing piece that holds the stock airbox in place which is no longer there because I have a MAF installed.
There's a drain valve on the bottom and with this setup, it's a matter of loosening a single screw that holds the bracket to the frame, lifting it out of there and opening the drain.
I ordered mine, got an email from them the same day confirming and it shipped out within 5 days. From the sound of the email, it sounds like they custom make these - I don't know that they keep a bunch in stock.

Hose from the AOS runs to the top port - hose from the MAF pipe to the bottom port.

Nice work, I personally like your choice of color and mounting location.....
I stayed with the red theme though for my vacuum lines and couplers...
you know you could order some blue heater hose from LR to match the rest of your tubes...

they only have it in blue though...

yeah, that stuff kinks to easily for me. I had a piece going up to my intake from the brake booster and found that under vacuum it was completely closing at a slight bend so I replaced it with some hose I found at a local parts store. Seems like it's great for straight runs but when you have to bend it, it causes problems.
I also had intended to go with red couplers but Lindsey borked my order and sent me regular straight pipes and blue couplers even though I paid for polished pipes and red couplers.
Turns out, I like the contrast better than I thought. I was going to send it all back and make them fix the order, but after playing with it - liked it and ordered the blue vacuum line as well.

pulls oil out to decrease the blow-by you get into the intake manifold. My car runs pretty clean (I recently had the intake off and had a slight amount of oil in the intercooler pipe to the throttle body, as expected) but the catch can helps clean up the air going into the intake so you get a cleaner burn. Have you ever had your intake off? Put a little carb cleaner in there and shake it around and see what comes out.

Ohh nice, a catch can! Still havent gotten the 16V in the frankenporsche started yet but ver close. No catching of oil for it! - Ive got a long hose on the crankcase vent to dump all that blow-by down underneath the car.
