    Ok, so I've been doing some research on what the purpose of an oil catch can is for, but Im thinking they are more of a cosmetic object than something that will actually benifit me. So if anyone knows anything about these and if there recomended please make a comment because im quite curious.
    Thanks

      If your not boosted then the chances of you needing one are very slim. They let excess pressure bleed for the crankcase.

        Ok, so the deal is, I'm trying to get all my parts together for the build, so it goes quick when I get home. As for boosting, that is the plan. I'm gonna be trying for the 300hp range and I guess I'm trying to figure out if I'm gonna need one.

          Well doing it in a way that isn't a waste of time isn't cheap, the fittings get expensive quick. You need a catch can that is vented and has a drain back unless you want to drain it yourself. (can run the risk of dumping all your oil into the can and overflowing it or running low on oil).

          pm me if you interested in this more.
