Cleaner intake for a start. In standard form the oil breather system plumbs back into the inlet pipe pre turbo, so any misting will be left in the inlet pipe, be passed through the valves into the combustion chamber and burnt out the exhaust system. Take for example you do a few hard launches and corners on a track day, theres a chance the oil surge could push a little more than normal into the breather system, which will go back in the inlet and hey presto, you have blue smoke from the exhaust and you **** it thinking the cars fubared. Lol
Personally, worth fitting to a modified car thats used "properly" shall we say 😂
Another alternative as some do, T the breathers and run a pipe under the bulkhead and cable tie to the gearbox mount so it vents to atmosphere. Works as well and cheaper option if its a daily but not tracked 👍

I would deffo recommend fitting one to any turbo car that uses the same system regardless of mods.

I have one fitted to my highly modded blob sti and it's never caught a drop of oil yet after 12k miles it just seems to collect dirty water that smells like old petrol. Some people use a return to sump style system which in my opinion is madness from what I've found in mine.

I'm intrigued into the vent to atmosphere setup , being a daily driver not sure I want a can , but venting to atmosphere can make for a smelly gunky mess I reckon ?

i run an Air Oil Seperator setup then vent back into a plastic bottle stuffed down beside the washer bottle - mainly because they can still get a potential surge if running standard sump on hard track driving - its meant to vent back into intake but its been blocked off, so fresh air only
