MrTris Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 You should get the Grimmspeed one. They're great. I know someone who'll have one for sale shortly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrTris Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 I'm not looking to spend that much on it The GS unit is the most modestly priced of the AOS/catch cans. Perhaps you should evaluate how badly you need it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bettner12 Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 I have an element catch can, but would recommend the IAG one to anyone looking for one now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmgobxt Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 HOLY **** the IAG is pricey... It looks great, but maybe overkill for a mildly modded car. If you have access to the right tools consider making one yourself and saving a bunch of money. Getting a used one would be another sensible option. http://www.iwsti.com/forums/2-5-liter-litre-factory-motor/146699-official-sti-engine-venting-o-separators-catch-cans-thread.html http://s3.photobucket.com/user/txl146/media/finalsetup.jpg.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really don't think a mildly modified car needs one. Like Tris said do you need it for bling? If not, it's probably worth saving up for one that works well.

1-3-2-4 Posted January 29, 2015 Author Share Posted January 29, 2015 I have a fair bit of blow by that ends up hitting my turbo compressor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxkita Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 I have a fair bit of blow by that ends up hitting my turbo compressor I'd fix the blow by problem before adding a catch can. Catch can is most useful when running high rpm/high boost such as a track situation. On the street, that much blow by comes from other problems. With all things on an LGT, be careful that a symptom is not actually a red herring leading you down the well traveled road of mis-diagnosed engine problems.

My car was at high boost now that the turbo died and back to a vf40 hitting boost cut and over shooting my target should be less of a issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightmaresmk Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Seriously either Crawford or IAG, for my stage three setup i'm getting the IAG because it's designed and the parts are all top shelf. A catch can on our cars is just a bad idea. cornering hard puts oil in the breather system it's just a fact. do it enough your catch fills up and your system is missing that oil now. our motors do not like being short of oil. Grimmspeed has issues but for a basic daily driven stage 2 it works. racing no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
