Is the Oil Catch Can something an amateur can install or is it something I should pay a professional to do?
I vote for Spulen but whatever you buy don't buy one that doesn't delete the PCV valve. That kind won't collect anything.
Ha yes. I ended up going with the CTS Turbo Catch Can and I'm just going to do it myself. I do watch a lot of Humble Mechanic, DAP and the other channels so I've seen the installs. My concern was I'd f*ck something up, but that's just me getting stuck in my head worry about sh*t that hasn't happened yet.If I were to get one it would be the Spulen, and I would install myself but it really depends on your definition of "amateur". Can you use a wrench?
You'll be fine there isn't anything cosmic to the install, watch the DIY vids and make sure to have the right tools.Ha yes.

So you’re saying the OEM PCV does a good job, because you need to delete it to catch oil in a can. Seems like creating a problem to install a solution.

That's not what I said at all. I said if you are going to buy an OCC the only kind that collects blowby are the ones that delete the PCV valve. I don't have an opinion as to whether the OEM PCV valve does a good job.
You're missing his point. If you have to remove the factory PVC to get oil to collect in the oil CC, then you didn't need a CC.
Right. So then part of the blowby collects on the back of the valves. It's simple. If you want to reduce carbon buildup on the valves you'll need an OCC that removes the PCV valve.

So if you keep the stock PCV, add. a CC, the CC doesn't collect any oil, that's because the oil is going right through the CC, and collecting on the valves?
But removing the factory PCV, getting oil on the CC means that you aren't getting oil on the back of your valves?
That actually makes sense to you?
The reality is, unless you track or run high boost pressures, the stock PCV is just fine.
