i think it was the same one you went with. the cylinder with the tube on the side to let you know how much is in it. plus the tube and hose clamps. looks nice just is huge

well stopping the oil getting into the intake track would not only cut down on oil consumption but help out with pre-detonation. the oil lowers the octane of the gas you run and therefore hinders performance. its cheap and easy so why not ya know?

Keep oil out of the intake track while retaining posotive venilation in the crankcase. The result of just using a breather to obtain the same results will result in unmetered air in the crankcase.

That sounds like exactly what I used except I used a BF419 I believe for the filter on the passenger side valve cover. The catch can works great on my car I have prevented about 1/2 quart from entering the intake with my setup in the last 15,000 miles. Just remember to remove the small filter from the inside of the bowl of the mini filter you are using.
Sorry I never posted up pics of mine I completely forgot about it, I can get some up tommorrow if it would help. My engine bay is extremely diry so you have to promise not to make fun of it....lol

Post some pics please. I really need to do this too. I've been getting alot of oil through the breather since I installed the supercharger. I assume I'm getting just as much into the intake.

Probably a more complicated solution than you wanted to hear but what about these cars isn't complicated?

Glad you bought that up about relocating the battery. I was suppose to relocate mine but I got some other mods instead. That would be a great place for a vaccum canister and a oil catch, and a coolant over flow.
