Oil Catch Cans - Another Side To The Saga

[Kazz]

It's the GDI design that makes the blowby awful. It cakes and crusts up on the valves. This is the firsts catch can I've put on a car and I've seen the difference of with or without on the 3.3TT. Don't want to spend the time and money cleaning? Install and maintain a quality catch can.

Definitely worth the insurance, something fairly cheap, easy install, easy to keep up with.

Check these out from BMS, maintenance free, decent price:

Bugger ... that = $407 posted to Australia and i had to remove the link to post this sorry

Lots of opinions here but so far I haven't seen anyone mention my main concern about adding an oil catch can to my Stinger. As far as I've been able to gather from looking around on the innterwebs (I must say I am by no means an expert when it comes to cars lol) is that an oil catch can can increase crank case pressure. If this is indeed the case then wouldn't/couldn't that cause more problems then it solves?

It certainly did on my CDI Mercedes mate, but i fitted larger 1" hoses on my Provent 200 and have never had an oil leak since

That's the idea of a zero maintenance setup but I'd prefer that the fuel degraded oil not return to the sump.
Draining the catch can every now and then is my preference.

Where did you purchase yours from please matey?
I pick up my car finally on friday and i really do not want to drive it anywhere until i have swapped out the basics.

I either got it off eBay or the K8 store.

NOTE: Something I JUST found out is that, if you have one of the newer Stingers, there is a difference to the catch can lower mounting fasteners and you'll either need to buy the can/kit for the latest version or fabricate something.

OLD 2017 - 2021.

And me being me, I installed one of these in the larger dia line also...

One the 2022 and newer Stingers the stud for the lower bracket mount is not there, but there is a hole where the stud was. When I installed mine, I used a short self-tapping screw and the spacer that came with the kit. Worked perfectly with no other issues.

All I can add to this thread is what was in the Mishimoto on today's oil change (2019, 39K mi.) And I'm glad it was there, not on the backside of the valves. (Pic of what was left after dumping liquid contents)
