Wow, those are cheap. Too bad you can't see when they are full though - but that's not a big deal.

Yeah, Quamen made one not too long ago but will not be doing any productions

These are more expensive than mine from Greddy. Space in the engine bay it at a premium, takes some clever mounting ideas.

Where did you mount your Greedy? I have a greedy as well but I'm NA so I had a place to mount it next to the Pop charger filter.

Even being NA there was really just that one place it seemed to fit.

I took out the stock air filter long ago in favor of the Nismo CAI, removed the trim piece next to the radiator and mounted horizontally there. Plenty of room, you just have to look at the engine compartment for a while with friends if possible to see 1 of the few places to mount. I had to fab a bracket and used the 2 existing bolts holes, just had to use longer screws. Car is in the body shop now but will post up pics in about 3 or 4 weeks.

To the posters above:

It is very different in the situation of twin turbo owners.

I have found that with the Greddy Twin Turbo kit, the best mounting point is either right by the driver side headlight, or to get either ARC V1 or V2 oil catch cans.

I brought the V2 personally, and while mostly for the fact that it is ARC, I found the mounting area to be excellent since it does not take up any needed room.

You can mount the Greedy up front next to the rad overflow. ...http://www.cardomain.com/member_page...1_414_full.jpg

Nice, I might get one. Although, isn't the Greddy one cheaper....I think it's only around $80?

I don't think so. It's been on for a year and a half and there is about 1.25" of oil/pooled up in it you can see through the site tube. I'm gonna drain it in 2 weeks and measure the amount of oil in it.

It (oil) is not returned to the engine, this is just a repository container for oil. Why would you need a baffle for a small storage area, are you worried the weight of a small amount of oil will case the car to over turn, during sudden acceleration or sharp turns????
