Hi everybody!
Just wanted to answer some questions that have been asked lately. Instead of someone saying
:, when you ask if a catch can helps, I'd rather put this thread up to show real life experiences with the N54 motor and OIL. I've seen tooooo many threads of people saying "I don't think its needed, " I doubt you'll need a catch can." The reason for this post is to base our information on FACTS rather than a guess. I've attached a few posts that are in reference to actual people that have taken off their intake pipes/intercooler pipes and have SEEN the oil themselves. This is not something that should be looked at lightly. Some of these customers have seen PUDDLES of oil in their charge pipes. Eventually that may lead to more problems inside your actual turbo housing. Here's a few threads you guys can look at.

There are probably a few more threads but I just searched "oil catch can" and these came up. If there is anybody else guessing if this is a much needed mod, just do the test yourself. Take off the intercooler pipes or even the stock BOV's and put your finger inside the pipes. Do you see oil coated against the sides? I wanted to do this research for you guys so you don't think you're buying something worthless. This will help your engine in the long run and definitely help your motor run at full potential! Any questions/concerns are always welcome. Thanks guys!:thumbup:
