What is it? A can to catch oil allowing air to go on to its destination

What does it do? Stops oil from getting into the intake

Where do I get one? ws5store.com, ebay, home made through parts at home depot

It goes in your pvc system to catch oil.It keeps the oil from going into throtle body in which causes detonation,and lots of oil consumption.Its a must for drag racing,there are few sponsors that sell them.Norris Motorsports is one.

+1 for the norris can. I have one of the prototypes that a memeber on here made for norris, and it works great.

If I had to redo mine (AMW) I'd go for this:

Many have problems with high RPM sustained manuevers where the fresh air from the passenger valve cover to the TB actually has oil come through; this resolves that issue.

Here's a pic of mine. It looks pretty, but in the year or so it's been on there, I doubt there's enough oil in it to brush my teeth with.
