Thanks, saintd...I guess.

I loved my STi...I just wanted to give the Evo a try, too.

BTW, I just posted more MR pics in the Rejex thread.

I add my admiration to the clean and functional install. I do wonder about the hose routing though. It looks like the return hose from the OCC goes to the valve cover breathers while the intake to the OCC goes to the lower nipple. Shouldn't this be reversed? I can't see the PCV hose routing at the OCC.

Intuitively it seems like the return should not be below the condensed out oil.

Mike,

It is hooked up correct. PCV and Breathers go to the TOP of the can. The sides of the can go to the 2 ports on the turbo inlet duct. AMW (Accurate Machine Works) states that the inlet is on the TOP of the can and the exit is on the side. This is such that the vapors immediately hit the special steel wool that is in the center of the can. If you look at the top of the can ... it is actually a top that extends down into the can PAST the exit. It is well protected. Here are the installation instructions...

Wow, what a beautiful job. This is the way I'm going, no question about it!

One question/suggestion: if you still have that cardboard template would you consider selling it to me? 1/2

(half kidding)

Alternatively you could post a size-correct image of it so that folks could use it as a template. That's basically what I'm going to try to do myself; download the template shot, play with the size until it looks right, print, cut.

Thanks again for the *thorough* job. Your legwork, great descriptions, and even greater pictures are certainly going to make my job a lot easier. Though I may go with a wee bit of bling and get the red cans...

Cheers,

This is by far the most helpful and informative catch can post I have seen, others just made me confused to the point that I gave up on even bothering with one, but after reading this I am definitely going to use two catch cans instead of one. Thanks!

Thanks guys! I still do have the cardboard template. If I get some time I'll try to get more accurate measurements. I should have just taken measurements of the finished aluminum mount ... oooooooops.
