Why do you want an AOS over a catch can?

Thanks for the info but they don't make a specific one for a twin turbo setup?

Do you change your own oil?

I do but I don't want to have to keep worrying about it. The air/oil puts it back into the crankcase that's it no worries

Only problem is you might be dumping milky *** oil back into your pan. A properly set up catch can (like mine) collects pratically ZERO oil. It's basically just nasty water I get out of it. I'd rather NOT have that stuff going into my engine.

Spending a few minutes every few weeks to empty my catch can is worth it.

Regardless, if you really want one, you'll likely need to get one custom fabbed. Or, you might be able to get an R35 AOS to work since it's already build for a twin turbo/twin intake car. AMS, BL, and T1 make some nice ones.

No problem. Not that I know of. Maybe someone with more insight will chime in...

Yeah, I realize that. Couldn't find them either. Here's a universal one, but not for TT. http://www.importimageracing.com/cat...category/1326/
