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.

I actually changed the drain line and now use fuel line and you can run it to where it is very easy to reach, keep it off the exhaust with zip ties.

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.

Any opinions of this product? It looks well thought out and made to me?

Well, not to sound repetitive here, but see my post # 17. Just my two cents. I know David and I are on the same page. For me using my car as a steet car, I'll never, ever let it vent into the air, for the reasons addressed in that post I said. And I do love the LR Can with the Moroso top (thanks again David!), because it fits nice and has the bling I want too!

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.

Is the hose from the AOS going to the intake (or bypassed to a catch can) 3/4" ID or OD?

Thanks,

I'm thinking of ordering one but I would like to get some blue hose for it. Not sure what size to get and what size reducer I'll need at the j boot. Also, anyone have ideas on how to mount it? Im thinking a large enough sheet metal screw would fit some holes in the side of the strut tower.

If you can hold off a bit, I am working with them to get a version made with larger fitting to accomodate the larger hose on the 951. Which is why I need someone to confirm whether the 3/4" is ID or OD.

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?
