Installing a catch can

[mudski]

Do all you guys plumb your catch can out let hose into the intake ? I plumbed mine in their & found that I am getting a small amount of oil in the intercooler. Is this ok or should I just let the outlet from the catch can vent into the engine bay ? Cheers for any ideas.

As far as I am aware mate that would be illegal to judt vent the outlet into the engine bay.

Dumb question - but if the catch can is not drained for a while (say 15000klm or so), would you end up with any overflow getting blown into the intercooler? How much of a pain in the ass is it to clean it all out again?

I have a 'friend' who might not have emptied the catch can for a while....:-)

Tell your friend to empty it once in a while. I empty mine every service, 5k and get around 125ml out of it. If the can is full it will have nowhere to go except into the air intake. I clean the filter with petrol. Make sure its dry then put it back in.
