Default Oil Catch Cans

After a bit of advice. Does anyone know of a good can / system to fit to an 06 Hawkeye. Suffering a bit and believe this is the way forward.

It has launch and enough horses thanks to Duncan. :-)

Oil vapour lowers the octane in the fuel thats the reason for the catch cans its to stop crank case vapour going in to the inlet lowering octane courses pre igniton. Also alows the mapper to advance igniton and run more boost without det?

They are a must have item in a 2.5 Andy F noticed this the last time he mapped my car. Contact Clive aka madhammer for a subaru specific can.

Make sure it is baffled and preferably as large as possible to allow the oil mist the tiem and surface area to condense onto, otherwise they don't do anything and the tank will never need emptying.

Just catching the crankcase mist should be sufficient, so a single inlet and outlet (12mm) would work.

A £30 one off Ebay that has a removable top would work. Take the top off and fill with coiled SS mesh. Brillo pad material is not recommended as it can break up and end up back in the engine.

Oh i forgot that was the only mod i had to do to clive's can was to baffle it. I don't know why he dosen't do it when they are fabricating them.
