Naturally I am biased however please take this seriously. Those catch cans are simply a hollow gut with no baffles to promote separation. Also factor in that the line size is dangerously small and you really are creating more work for yourselves. We tested the cheaper cans and had nothing but headaches and a ton of oil being pushed through turbo seals creating monstrous smoke screens out the exhaust. User beware.

....Thankyou for posting this info - Further research tells me that baffles appear to be very important and also can even stop oil returning under heavy braking and cornering etc (though I think it would have to pretty extreme movement).

So, the BSH can has baffles? Consideration of the line size seems very valid too.

So I'm gonna be returning the pretty carbon can I've been lent. I may swop your hoses for some of Dubtek's pretty SS braided ones though.

What I do wish what your can had, is a practical means of knowing how full it is. In my opinion the car owner should be able to visually and easily check the levels of as many of the fluids as possible.

Something I don't like about the Forge can is that, although it has a sight tube, its installation on a UK car means that the windscreen washer fluid bottle neck is swopped for a solid one so that you can't keep it topped up so easily. Plus it's a somewhat unnecessary extra expense for the kit.

Although it took me a while to understand how your emptying tap works [thanx stokeballoon], I have to say that it's the most reliable looking one I've seen. Just a loose bolt isn't very confidence inspiring in the presence of much lubricant.

RR with the position of your catch can, you should easily be able to accomodate the larger BSH can that incoperates a dipstick to check on hoow full the can is...   :smiley:

.... :signLOL: - I'm laughing because I have literally just come in from my garage and, among other checks, was looking at where else I could move my catch can to if/when I decide to install an air intake (Forge Twintake being current favourite), and I was thinking how glad I was that the BSH one is so slim and I could relocate it where most others have done near the charcoal cannister.

But I'll check out the larger one anyway because of the dipstick. Another option is for me to extend the bracket to possibly miss an air filter. It's all good fun.

Thanks for telling me anyway, bacillus  :drinking:

I've just checked out the BSH with dipstick and it's called the "Competition" can. I also like that it appears to have the tap on the side, though it depends how easy it is to empty the can without its removal.

Phil, do you have the dimensions please? If I can fit one in the right position for me I can order it through Dubtek. Unless of course I come across another universal can which has a sight feature and looks fancy and is expensive  :evilgrin:

ADDENDA:

Ooops! It looks quite a bit bigger : -

Hello RR

This is what I received from BSH when I asked about the sizes:

"The standard slim can is 6.5" Long and 2" round. It maintains 7 fluid oz capacity. The larger can is 8.5" Long and 3" round. It maintains 32 oz of capacity."

I have the larger can sat in the garage ready to fit to my Octavia vRS this weekend.

You got your first Thank You, Mr Bogwoppit! (what a great name!).  :drinking:

Do you know yet if you'd have to loosen the P-ring and lift it out to empty?

I will have a look later today, hopefully.
