So it works just fine with the heat on the HOT side of the motor. Second stupid question is what direction is the air flow towards the TB or towards the Acc pipe? I ask because the Catch can I have only has two nipples Both on top so I am going to use the stock pipe and just interrupt some where after the two pieces join into one
Man, I doubt several of those are doing anything at all. How do you guys expect the oil/water vapors to condense when the can is piping hot?
Put it on the cold side of the motor, near the brake booster (LHD cars
), or up in front. ANYWHERE to stay away from the heat!

I ain't got no room on the cool side, plus at least mine is further away from the turbo back housing and downpipe. My CC uses baffles to catch oil vapors, I just change it out ever so often as it's a filtered CC.
Ok sweet SO heat is bad ....got it . So it needs to be mounted AWAY from heat. I think I am going to mount it in the area around the master cylinder and splice the tubing right at the TB , sound like that will work?
shaeff;998637 said:Yes, but yours is in the front of the car, so it's not bad.
Thanks man
I put mine infront of the passenger front wheel and behind the bumper, below the headlight... Ran the hoses down the hole for the stock air box.
It's temporary, will work for now until the engine build.
I'd put up some picks, but, obviously there's nothing to see...

If you notice those lines (stock) were connected in the intake pipe line at the top of the exhaust manifold so heat makes no difference where the catch can is located.
