I am running a GZ. There is a lot you need to do to make the "kit" work though. I let them know so I am not sure if they updated it with more appropriate parts....

It def pulls some crap out though!

Im sorry, I got mixed up between vacuum canister, didn't realize a vacuum pump was a crankcase ventilation system.

I did remember a great write up for you though, it tells you exactly how to set it up for each type of engine, enjoy.:

Here's what comes out of my catch can from the vacuum pump so I know it's doing something. Nothing like fuel, oil, and water all mixed up.
