Oil Catch Can?

From my reading the oil catch cans are a really good mod for the N55/N54 engines. Is oil blow back a serious issue with the N20 motor as well?

Im leaning towards getting the BMS catch can, but was just wondering if it was money well spent.

It is if it's a car you plan to have for 75k miles or more

I received my BMS oil catch can - got a sweet deal from Terry. Install was a breeze. I have the injen CAI, so i did not need to remove anything as there was enough room to work around the intake box. A really clean install. My one ocd comment would be the inlet/outlet on the can should be reversed so that the lines wont cross, and make for an even neater install.

Nice man let me know how much you actually collect.

By the way if you are running the JB4 ask terry for the updated test firmware. It's unreal and amazing

I was talking about the new firmware he is testing that hasn't been released yet. It's more of an additive map...

I have no idea why I haven't done the oil catch can on my car. I get so much oil going through the chargepipe system that i'm sure the bottom of the intercooler is flooded with oil

I thought you were running a RolloFace Charge Pipe?

Who here was able to install the OCC on stock setup? After the pipes are hooked up, there is no room for the stock airbox to fit back. I can only see this working with a CAI which significants cuts back in space
