Default universal catch can???

Just wondering if getting a universal catch can was actually that much less effective than some of the name brands. It is a big difference between $35 and +300 dollars. I am getting blow by from my turbo seals and don't wan't to bother rebuilding the turbo before getting the GT-K.

Well the nicer/more expensive ones have baffling in them which is of much more benefit than those without. What kind of mileage do you have on the turbos that they are already blowing their seals??

this may sound cheesy, but you can get a nice Air/Oil separator from the home depot. the have 2 of them. get the larger one. It has 3/8" NPT inlet/outlet. it works very well and has a decent sized catch can to it, along with a drain petcock. I think it is rated to something like 150psi (it's designed to air compressors!)



I fogot to add that you can peel the "husky" label off , too!!!!!

Default not many

I think the turbo only has about 8k on it. Which catch can will work the best with the turbonetics kit? (If there is a difference)

the arc is nice looking, but doesn't it need some mods to work properly. AAM welds the top closed and adds some other port, I believe.

Default big $

That's really more than I wanted to pay. I've already sunk an amazing amount of money in to this car. I'd rather limit my spending

Yep I have a husky compressor air/water filter for my catch can too, catches ALOT of oil. Highly recommended. You dont even need the big one, you can make a smaller one for about $20 total. Check the DIY engine section

Have you guys looked at this one? https://my350z.com/forum/showthread....ight=catch+can

I already have cusco but saw that in the vendor classifieds and it looks pretty functional.

Here are more pictures http://www.mvpmotorsports.com/merchant/ttc9990.shtml
