The stock rev3+ turbo one is pretty good, it drains the 'caught' blow-by back into the sump and everything!

Re: Oil catch can, what have you got?
Why replace the perfectly good oem catchcan with some dodgy chinese tat?
I remember reading the ebay ones dont have any baffling inside them so they dont separate the oil from the air. Also i've heard that the crap hoses that come with those things also cause issues.

That article is mainly based around 4mm internal, the internal of ones im looking at are 15mm
There must be a few people on here running them?

Bet those are not true 15mm ID thou, but do infact have fittings of 15mm external diameter!
Those eBay fittings are upwards of 2-3mm thick!
So your looking at ID of 9mm, not 15mm, even thou the hose maybe 15mm ID the fitting may go down to 9mm.
One thing I would note thou to people!
Has anyone seen the ID of the oem hole in the standard rev3+ turbo hose?? Ie taken out the metal joiner and looked, and this goes down to probably 7 or so mm! I'll be drilling this out very soon. This is on an oem setup.
