"That unit was made by Cooper Racing for about USD30"

AWESOME!! And it is a direct set up for our cars??? Is it a one time thing or do they make them on a regular basis??

Wow, NZ951, only $30.00? Please clue us in as to where we can get one! I looked for "Cooper Racing" via Google, and didn't find any direct links to their site.

Much of the fluid in the catch can is water-condensation. And if you overfill or fill oil to the upper limit it will throw out oil especially at high revs. That is my experience. Now I dont fill upp moore than in the middle of the marks and now It works great. I only have a 1-2 drops a week despite revs to 7000 and boost up to 22 psi.

Yeah there was condensation in the mix, hence why it was thin. I am going to be running around half full oil now too...

The lines and connectors are pretty expensive, as is the K&N... I dont think you could make one in the US for $50 to be honest. Also, most people wont realise that you need to drill out the AOS which means the turbo has to come off... keep that in mind.
