I recently finished my turbo project, and I'm having issues with the valve breather misting oil out....so I know I need an oil catch can to solve this problem and I've seen alot of people have been using mountaindew and water bottles and a temp fix...but I wanted to see some pics of where you have located yours and what brand/design would you recommend?

I would recommend a GReddy catch can. Not too many options. I have seen many "do it yourself" catch cans, they say they work as well as expensive ones. Not sure of the best place to put one on a turbo'd engine.

i have mine mounted on the firewall on the side of the map sensor . im using a cambells soup can lol . it works great and i have the breather line and pcv line attached to it .

LED tails : Done for now!

totaleclipse_05...I was referring to your pic when I said waterbottle...and a soup can....wow that is great. more pics please ....another questions...when you run the line from the Pcv on the valve cover to the oil catch...what do you with the open vacccum on the intake manifold?

Most people plug it with a rubber nipple. The PCV system is actually a better system but people with high boost pressures (10psi and up) tend to bypass the pcv system all together. Whenever possible, get a PCV valve that seals up VERY well and just add the catch can to the spout you have the breather on.

alone these lines . . .
has anybody done the crankcase evacuation system that you put a tube in the exhaust streem and it provides the vacuum?
