I used one of these http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Subaru-Impreza...ht_1620wt_1081 ( not from this seller) but it needed a dividing wall and some stainless steel mesh added to encourage the oil to separate.
An internal separation system is essential with a catch tank, otherwise the oil won't separate and it'll all be a waste of time.

I noticed at Brands Time attack that the Cosworth CS400 had a Mann + Hubbel Provent 200 fitted. A nice compact high efficiency catch & separation unit for about £100.
Couldn't tell if the oil drain was linked to the sump or turbo drain.
Presumably this will be on the production cars?

Check the group buy section, you can get a very nice one there by Mad Hammer. It had 3 inlets unlike 99% of others on the market. Scoobys have 3 breathers, but thats not to say you can t-piece and use a twin inlet can
