    Yes it was easy. I paid $466 in Perth, I know there are some cheaper but they seem to be all sold out. I didn't want one of the +$1000 ones as we are planning to upgrade the car soon. I didn’t actually measure it but it appears to be the same size.

    You need to remember its only a 3ltr it will only go sooo fast.
    making it more efficient would be a better goal imo
    Sounds like you got a great deal.
    04 ST 3lt auto, not enough Mods to keep me happy, but getting there

    You should definately fit a catch can, and not a cheapy from ebay because they don't have a baffle and are essentially useless. Also I don't think you really want a "breather" on a catch can other than a pressure relief valve. Normally being routed before the turbo the crankcase breather is under vacuum

    I have the Flashlube Catchcan Pro, it was $229 from supersheap, it has 19mm fittings (you need to find some 16-19mm connectors) and a filter that should be replaced every 20,000kms, the genuine filter is about $90 although an aftermarket filter is about $35. I've caught about 400ml of oil in about 9000kms.

    The Provent 200 is another popular one which I think has 25mm fittings. The HPD one doesn't perform well as it uses steel wool for the baffle which doesn't condense a lot of oil.

    I’m not needing it to go fast, I’m just trying to get as much power as I can to tow our new caravan.

    Looks like a catch can is the next thing on my shopping list.
    I was looking at this one https://demonproparts.com.au/product...trol-zd30-3-0l, I don’t know if it’s any better but it looks like it has the 16mm fittings.
    Thanks for the ARE link, there is some good information on there

    CC is a good investment. I run a Provent 200, few dollars but one of the proven designs. Try Western Filters.

    Now that you have installed the new TIG welded cooler, guess you would have cleaned the air intake pipe to turbo and boost hoses, at least the one from turbo to the new cooler "hot side" _ by pulling some rag through??

    Just good house keeping. Was there much oil residue in air intake duct (airbox to turbo) or boost hose from turbo to cooler. Give them a clean mate.

    I didn’t look at any of those ! I was more worried about making sure I didn’t break the engine while changing the intercooler, I will be checking all these things this morning, thanks.

    It has a stainless mesh filter so will not likely be as good at catching oil as the Provent or Flashlube CC.
