sweet! i'm trying to find the fittings on that site but no luck guess when i go in there to buy it i'll just open the package and go around pluging stuff in to it till it fits. lol did you use just some heater hose from like NAPA? i might actually have some left over silicon that might work.

So all you have to do is cut that formed hose coming from the block and the hose steming from the turbo boost pressure regulator(black flat circle top piece) and put the catch can in between them?

I use an old oil can and cut the side off ( plastic of course ) 5 litre in and 5 ltrs out or what ever quarts you use ( all it is is a catch bin )

The top of the package you can easily take off and there is a large amount of fittings buy the filter but cheaper done the isle with some plumbing items.

heater hose will work fine.

Avant, Its to filter oil out of the crankcase breather from entering the intake and turbo. Nothing to do with oil changes or coolant.
