my greddy is the same. can't open it up. my mechanic said he could cut it open and then weld it back together, but i don't know if i want to do that. probably leave as is.

Yah, I figure it does the job...and is def better than not having it in there. Plus as an added bonus it looks awesome in the engine bay, and even matches the Cusco Decal thats on the strut brace (both the etched Cusco logo on the Can and the decal on the strut brace are both angled the same way, never even intended).

Hmmmmm!!!! I called them yesterday Al...they said that they don't stock it and just Drop Ship it from SMC......sooooo you should of gotten it by now!?!? I asked him to see if SMC even has stock..he was like umm, hmm let me give you a call back and let you know...so he has my name and # and is going to call me back today hopefully! (Gruppe-S)

hey chris how do you like that cusco catch can, i was thinking about getting one myself.

Chris05STi · 04-13-2006, 06:32 AM

I love it! Its great, the quality is always awesome....I have other Cusco products on my car and was never disappointed with their quality and finish. If you want to get one, Adam from Z1Auto.com can hook you up. Thats where I got mine from. Installation is really easy, I had no idea when I started, thanks to Lenny for some pointers, and some creative thinking I got the bracket installed and the catch can in. I just needed to get a couple extra hose clamps and a brass coupler. Thats only because I am very particular on things and want the best finish/install when I put stuff in my car or anyone else's.....but in the end you will be really happy with it! Its a great thing to have!

Allen504tke · 04-13-2006, 06:37 AM

Chris I don't think you installed the catch can right from the pics I saw...I am pretty sure the can has a directional flow.

True, thank you for the info. I'll definitely get one soon.

Update: Talked to Tray from TopSpeed, and I am pretty much good and on the right track with the mods I have and the ones coming in. We talked and he said that most people go with 100% Meth Injection...so I figure thats good, and saves me going and busting out the measuring beaker and doing the 50/50 mix. Also, I figured why not throw in an Electronic Boost Solenoid..so my choices were between the Perrin and Prodrive....I had a talk with Lenny (Thanks again Lenny for the great info), and we came to a conclusion that Prodrive one is better, being that it comes with a harness, is only $10 more, and you can easily revert back to stock since you don't have to splice any wires as you would with the Perrin one. So now, some upcoming mods will be the Prodrive Electronic Boost Solenoid, SMC Meth Kit (working somethings out to get it

), some JDM goodness/bling, and possibley something really nice for the exterior

. Then the obvious GF210 springs, PDE camber plates and rear top hats. The suspension stuff may come before the exterior mod...or I just might go ahead and order some suspension parts and the exterior mod...we will see as time comes!

**Edit: I prob won't go for the solenoid...being that its not really worth it on a stock turbo...I will get it when I eventually upgrade the turbo.

I think they are trying to tell us something?! Hmmmmmmm, the joys of parts made in Japan: Instructions in Japanese!!!!

Ah, and who can not have one of these guys?! Got it from a guy on eBay (CrazedCustoms.com) Great guy, honest and really takes care of what your looking to get. Installed on both rear windows.

Hi, I am just wondering what exactly is this pig?
does it mean anything special or does it represent any brand?
Seems to see it everywhere!

straightouttajersey · 04-13-2006, 09:04 AM

yeah so who do you know in the drug underworld...i could use some of that fat cash...

Chris05STi · 04-13-2006, 09:39 AM

Cal, the pig is on the WRC Subaru STi car, they place the decal on the side mirrors....The pig is basically (from what I recall) a Logo that this Japanese Men's magazine uses. Its like the FHM of Japan if you will, and their logo is this pig...and they sponsor the WRC car. Donnie, well I could hook you up if you can run stuff to and from the Mexican border!! I KID I KID.

Yeh that hose is very bent. And the blow off oil is never gonna climp up into the catch can. People who usually mount it in that position have fmic's and they make it a lot lower so the oil can flow right in. Usually mounted above the turbo.
If I was the owner what Id do is put it next to the battery, what 99% of people do, the oil flows right into the can, downward flow.
