[QUOTE="sixshooter_45, post: 1492846, member: 6793"] There's a reason why race cars run them, think about it. "Why Catch Cans are important to your build" [MEDIA=youtube]L_5e2IT8r90[/MEDIA] "Oil catch cans are simple devices that can greatly benefit direct-injected engines. They prevent oil and other contaminants from causing buildup inside your engine's intake manifold. Here's how they work, and why you might want to install one on your own car. A typical catch can plugs into a hose running from the top of your engine's crankcase to the intake manifold. This hose relieves pressure in the crankcase generated by blow-by (when pressure escapes the combustion chamber by seeping past the piston rings). The problem is, this pressure relief hose allows oil and other nasty stuff from the crankcase to get into the intake manifold, where it doesn't belong. These contaminants can build up inside the intake; when left unchecked, this buildup can hurt fuel economy and horsepower, and can even cause misfires." Our engines have both direct and port injection and while port injection significantly helps to reduce the amount of blow-by in our engines it doesn't eliminate it 100% proven by the blow-by that's being collected by the catch can. If you don't plan on keeping your vehicle long term, then don't install one. If you want to maintain peak performance, mpg, nothing but clean air in your system as the original design intended then install a high quality catch can that will capture all blow-by even when under boost. It's your money, your vehicle, your option. The truth is if you use a high quality full system catch can then you won't have any issues if installed properly. The blow-by the is being caught by folks that run them was proof enough for me to spend the money to help keep my engine at its peak performance. Sure some of that would be burned up but I personally don't want any of that blow-by where it doesn't belong. [/QUOTE]
