BMS Oil Catch Can install
Thanks to AusX3 I ordered a BMS OCC from https://x-ph.com/burger-tuning-oil-c...b58-s55-s63tu/ (free shipping).
Was considering the Vargas OCC but I didn't want to take the chance the lines wouldn't fit since it comes with compression fittings. I trimmed the plastic so the bracket would fit better and I ordered 19mm hose https://www.amazon.com/dp/B094GMMDT4...t_details&th=1 to complete the install as the one with the kit will be short as the kit is for a G20. FYI the kit without an aftermarket intake comes with a plug to replace the intake muffler to create room from the stock intake pipe. The OCC does clear the shock tower and it shouldn't rub. I found other OCC kits but at least this one comes with a bracket and the 90 degree adaptor that clicks into the stock hose from the top of the valve cover so its PnP. Just need a small worm clamp to keep the one hose from coming off. Last edited by Burr001; 06-25-2022 at 09:39 AM.. |

It's great sharing but then get nervous sharing in case the next user does not have a good experience, so this is good! |

After installing it and taking off to the next stop sign, the turbo noise was so much louder and then the wastegate dumped, I pulled over and thought the f'ing filter popped off or I broke something. But who knows, Its BLUE, just BLUE Chief. If you want I can send you my K&N filter(its RED) and you can have that sit on the floor next to your desk and cool parts.lol BTW those hose clamps in 19mm don't fit ,too small, OD of the hose i Ordered is 27mm FYI. |

I agree the intake made a difference in acceleration according to the butt dyno. First time I heard that turbo whoosh; I did the same thing! Pulled over and popped the hood, thought something was "wrong". Chief they make a RED intake you can order and keep in your office for a few months…. 🤔😂 |

AusX3 how long have you had yours installed for? Have you had any blow by oil in the can as yet?

I pulled the inlet line hose off and didn't feel anything on the internal of the hose. I have a dyno session and some works planned for the 6th July so will take another look then |

the hose I got from amazon was triggering my OCD, so I got a 90 degree hose from the b48 and it fits better and used those t-bolt clamps to make sure hose stays on and seals better.

Update:
So I wanted to put a small piece of foam as extra protection from rubbing on the shock tower as vibration might cause it to move. It has been 30 days after installing the OCC and about 1800 miles of driving for the month, I found very light film of oil in the OCC. |

Nice thanks for posting! That's a good reference point. All that stuff isn't on your intake now!

Thank you for your amazing post and recommendation. Gives a lot of support and confidence for my project.
Where did you get your strut bar? It looks great. Also, I notice that when ordering the catch can, it says something like "requires BMS intake." I am running with aFepower GT Momentum intake so will this oil can setup not work?? Instead of installing rubber piece, wonder if oil can fits into a beer can koozie to keep it from making noise 😄 |
