Was on respected JDM site today and some $250+ alloy catch cans they have for sale 2,& 3 ltrs ones are recommended for same capacity 2 and 3 ltr engines.
Also they spec suitable for diesel engines , thought worth mentioning as capacity it seems may matter somehow. food for thought.

possibly the longer the oil vapours spend in the catch can the more it can filter it out , 2-3 ltr can would be a pain to fit under the hood if possible id have to shuffle alot to get it in

We picked up our new (old) TD2.8 last week, and I finally got the time today to install a catch can. The previous owner had already done the EGR as I found out, so pretty happy with that.
I cleaned the intercooler and associated pipes (didnt remove butterfly, still doing research on that) and havent done a boost/pyro combination yet.
I went with a Supercrap catch can, which come hollow, and am trying a cartridge oil filter element as attached. I have used steel wool in previous vehicles with "ok" results...so figured I would try this. Filter is a nice snug fit, and I will be interested to check the results in a few weeks.
I have plumbed the new pipework directly of the block, through the catch can and returning via the PCV.
I have to shorten the sight tube as pictured, just ran outta time.
Anyone see any possible issues with this set up?
Edit I have secured the pipework away from the aircon pipes with some zippies, tidied it up a bit since the photos
Gday Rob,
Hey I have the same supercrap catch can and was wondering how you are finding the filter you have popped in it? Dose it do the job well of catching the oil?

G'day Lewy....
I will pull the top off the can tomorrow, and take some pics of the filter.
Checked it 2 weeks ago and its definately sucking up the oil vapours..seriously considering a Provent install, before I chip it, though.
Trying toprevent any "self-induced" errors in the engine...I know the can and filter are working, just don't know how well.

I just bought a GUII last week. I am keen to get this mod done too and I spotted this kit which also has the EGR blanking plate and some boost control kit.
any reason NOT to go for this kit?
