As far as I can tell - yes

My intercooler and hoses are still oil free.

great job, im also running dual catch can setup but its nowhere near as nice as yours. I think if there is enough space left over after 20G with ewg install I will redo my setup to match yours. Template or measurements for the mounting bracket would be greatly appriciated.

I read through most of the thread, but may have missed the explanation for the reasoning behind two catch cans vs. one.

However, simply pop off the stock silver hose clamp from the PCV line at the sensor on the turbo inlet hose. I thought this would be a difficult thing. However, this clamp is 100% reusable even though it doesn't look that way. Pull the hose off the sensor and then slap in a 1/2" to 3/8" hose adapter. The hose then routes directly over to the catch can. From the turbo inlet mount up a new section of 1/2" hose. We can then adapt this to 3/8" and then back to the catch can. Beautiful. Everything is 100% reversible and NOTHING was damaged in the process. w00t.

Pssst. I also installed my hella horns last night. These things are monstrously loud (I installed the relay too so that they get direct battery power).

Yeah.....Tim.....about those horns...They are definitely monstrously loud!

Ok, I am bringing this back to life. I just bought a catch can from a friend, and stumbled onto this thread while looking for install instructions. You did an amazing job with the install. Looks REALLY good. Anyways, I have one question. What about the heat coming off of your turbo? Or is it not an issue?

pepito · 10-06-2005, 07:44 PM

Wolfplayer ,another question ,where did you get the 1/2" hose that has a 90 degree premolded bend in it.

Great Job.
thanks for your post.

Yep, this is a great thread. I have it bookmarked for myself and just added it to the "Threads of Interest" for this section. Good work WolfPlayer.

Crap. I can't believe I missed this thread. Really nice work Wolf. I've been debating the need for catch cans but I can see now it looks like a worthwhile effort. A couple of STi owner-posters over on NASIOC have said their intercoolers were full of oil on removing them.
