We are running catch cans ( CDR deleted to same pile as PMD's), that my brother Jeff builds. Very satisfied....we looked at these cans, nice and shiny, but may have a problem with the size of the outlets to have adequate crankcase vacuum.

so what are you using?

X-2? PIcs?

Without the CDR, no negitive pressure....correct?

the pressure is always there with a catch can system..... the can is there to stop the oil from going to the turbo... i have tried different designs, my first i biult with 4 inch ABS pipe, it works but i dont like the idea of material inside of it to catch the oil... so i built my most previous one with a 7" fire extingiusher can... just cut it in half and used the dished top as the bottom with a drain cock.... welded in a 5 inch flat bar to separate the 2 sides, welded on a couple of 1/2 bungs and used 3/4 adapters to have a 1.5" line to draw from both valve covers... have not tried it, but i think it will work good... also with my first one the oil in the motor has 3500 km on it and it is still golden...

These still allow negative pressure in the crankcase, one side of can to the valve covers, the other pre-turbo (same as CDR) to create negative pressure in crankcase. Just verify with a clear line on the dipstick and water in it to measure inches of vacuum in crankcase. Should have min 1" and a max of 5" (wot) to aid the seals. Too much and the can (or CDR) will fill and end up breathing the engines own carbon.
