honestly you can prob make one out of anything really. i thought there were more to them and more parts when i took my 100 dollar greddy one apart. to my surprise it was nothing but a box with 2 holes at the top where your hoses run. ill be making mine if i decide to do another

This is what I'll be using..

A friend of mine got this from Harbor Freight for $10..it's an Air Compressor Water/Air Seperator. I just removed the internals and attached the fittings for the Hoses to put it on the Car. It has 1/4" NPT Threads so that helps greatly. This one is bolting to the passenger's side Head, inline on the Vacumm Tube from the Valve Cover to the Intake. I have another one to put on the driver's side inline from the PCV Valve to the Intake. The clear part unscrews to empty it.
