Oil catch can?

MetaX · 12-13-2018, 06:28 PM

Just checking in to see if anyone has installed an oil catch can for your F25 and if so, have you been finding much oil in there? I have a 35i that is running higher boost via Dinantronics Stage 1 so I'm looking to see if it would be worthwhile to have. I just cleaned my MAF sensor which I suppose is rather easy as things go but if adding a catch can eliminates the need for doing that and also reduces deposits on the intake tract + valves perhaps it is worth adding. Catch cans look fairly easy to install and aren't particularly expensive (<$200). The biggest downside I see is that they are only for race applications which in Californese means it'll fail visual smog inspection.

Oh snap I think that was the thread that got me thinking about the catch can originally. However, I haven't seen whether or not anyone has seen significant oil accumulation on the F25 N55. In any case I'll go ask it on that thread.
