Nothing to do with me but have one of these fitted.

They cost about £190 normally, so £50 in not bad

I got mine for £50 too but am not sure whether to fit it or not, the benifits are not as great as most people think in this engine.

Thank you Chris, although it is sold unfortunately.

If you see a forge TWINtercooler pop up give me a shout mate!

How come?

This is my understanding-

An oil catch can is used in turbo applications, or high-performance race applications where excessive blow-by (leakage past the piston rings) of air and fuel vapor occurs. This creates a positive pressure in the crankcase. Engine manufactures have placed a valve on the engine block which releases this pressure. This valve is known as a PCV (Positive Crankcase Ventilation) valve. During engine operation, blow-by gases, as well as oil mist from the rotating components of the engine, pass through the PCV valve and are routed back into the intake for the engine to burn off. However, some of the oil mist and other products settle along the engine intake and over time form a "gunk." The oil catch can collects the oil mist and condenses the fuel vapors while allowing "cleaner" gases to be passed back into the intake. Typically the blow-by gasses are passed through a wire mesh, which give the vapor droplets something to adhere to. Since the oil catch cans condense the vapor portion of the gasses, they will need to be drained periodically of all the oil, fuel and other contaminants.

The main reason i'd want a catch can is to keep the inlet valves clean. The only thing that's going to work is water meth.

Cheers for that only problem is, I now want to clean-out my cylinders and valves nothing wrong with the car, just want it to be tip-top

That stuff is like tar, I tried but gave up.
