This is a guy on a private froum in Arizona. VERY nice stuff and actually ENGINEERED, not just bling.
He designed it to go in line with your stock AOS.
Also it is best to get the AOS as cool as possible in order to get the oil vapors to condense. I really dont like the idea of having it over the headers. It keeps the vapors hot, thus they do not want to condense and there is a risk of fire since there is oil right over the header.

He says $70 for the single tank.

Hey good info all around. Thanks for the update.
I'm trying to determine if the oil in my intake system is coming from the turbo, the AOS or both. Just want to be smart about installing a catch can if that's the way I go about trying to isolate the two sources.

Those of you who have installed the Lindsey catch can, I'm curious what you did with the drain tube. Did you just let it hang free with the valve on the end of it, or did you anchor it to something?
I'm installing mine this weekend (with a Moroso breather looped back to the J-boot) and I haven't yet decided what I'm going to do with the drain.

This would be another nice option for our cars - MANN Provent
Too bad that this unit wouldn't work in the typically installed location. It's max temp exposure is 248 deg F.

Rolex, I agree with you... my car is a street car, so I never intended to let it vent to atmosphere for the very reasons you described. I've got the Moroso top and will be routing a hose back to the J-boot. The bling doesn't hurt, either.
What I was unsure about was how to route the drain tube. I didn't think I wanted to just let it hang free since over time I felt the weight of the drain valve combined with road vibration / bumps / etc. may cause the soft aluminum tubing to sag and possibly come into contact with the header or something else. I didn't want to anchor it to the chassis due to movement of the engine relative to the chassis placing stress on the tube, and I couldn't find a good place to anchor it to the engine itself. I think what I'm going to do is follow David's example and swap the alum. tubing with hose and attach it somewhere easily accessible.
Thanks.

I'll wait, though I have the intake and off right now, it isnt that hard to get to the connections later. Maybe I mounting system for our cars could be worked out as well?
