    Give Mudski a PM I think he stocks catch cans,
    I'd be giving Diesel Smart a ring as I'm not sure why they don't do the Di IC anymore,
    Diesel Smart do a larger one[IC] and $400 cheaper than the Cross Country which IMO is way over priced.
    If getting one from ebay make sure its been pressure tested and carries some kind of warranty.

    You could pull it all apart and give it a decent clean along with cleaning your MAF as all that oil is going somewhere
    just make sure its all dry before you put it back together

    You could even pressure test the IC once its clean tape up all outlets and use a push bike pump to pressurize it
    dip it in a bucket of water and see where its leaking, you may be able to use some Flash tack to slow it down.?
    Again make sure its dry before installing again, hair dryer may help here

    I know where it's leaking. I can see the holes, eight of them. The engine cowling rubbed through. Can feel air pissing out at idle

    Ok so I rang Diesel Smart and boy am I glad I did. These guys know their stuff!!
    Did a great deal on most of the gear I am after. Nads, Dsi for maf, chip and monster intercooler. Now I'm looking for a good 3 inch exhaust. I'v been told Scotts Rods is the go?
    What is everyone else using ?
