I currently have a K&N filter/breather fitted on my conversion but want to replace it for a catch can now.
To the turbo guys out there, which one have you fitted and where have you located it?
Thanks
Oil Catch Can

Ive got a standard one from a S13/S14, but ive yet to find a place for it to fit, so my breather is just going onto the filter pipe.

just find any generic one, the only time you want a quality one is if you route it back into the intake and it must act as an oil seperator

You don't want it re-routing back into the intake, under boost applications.reggid wrote:just find any generic one, the only time you want a quality one is if you route it back into the intake and it must act as an oil seperator
A catch can, is just a catch can at the end of the day,
buy one that will suit your engine bay, if it's ugly, then mount it out the way, (not too out the way, as it will need emptied from time to time)

I would want to run a vacuum through it personally. There's a few ways you can do it with a turbo, either a separate electric pump is sometimes used, or a pipe welded on the downpipe will draw a vacuum
