i removed my catch can after a week as there was a cluncking noise which turned out to be the check valve in the crankcase breather, from what i can gather the bsh system doesnt need the check valve so it just rattles around. but somehow it broke mine with all the rattling! ( apparently some people knock the check valve out with a screw driver when they run the kit to get rid of the clunking sound) then when i converted back to standard the checkvalve was broke and it blew some serious oil out of the filler cap! also when i removed the kit i found the plasic elbows were really garled up with oil mayo stuff the diameter was about 6mm! this was after a week so i wasnt willing to find out what it was going to be like after any longer.
i have now had the new crankcase breather and new revision L rocker cover pcv fitted and it is perfect holds the remap boost with no sign of oil round the cap or dipstick etc
....^ This information worries me - I'll be adding this subject as something to check on my list of To-Do's at VWR on my next visit.
Tut-tut, BSH, it seems from these reports that you may need to revise your product.
Having read your previous thread, i am not sure we should all jump to the conclusion that is a poor design. Would be good to give BSH a chance (Robin), rather than hanging them on the site. Lets get some subjective evidence.
I have had no problems since I fitted my can, my unions are ok, and it is working as advertised.

....You either misread or misunderstand my words, Dave. I am neither "jumping to a conclusion" nor am I "hanging" BSH - I am merely passing comment based on BMX's report. Such reports quite rightly should give anyone cause for concern and I am suggesting that IF there is a fixable problem, BSH would do well to address it.
Please read my posted words again more carefully - The English is quite plain and I have highlit the key words in blue to help:
"Tut-tut, BSH, it seems from these reportsthat you may need to revise your product"
Yes, I have made honest criticisms of this product in the past but I have also told you to your face (standing in your garage with both can sizes) that I think the BSH cans are in some ways better than I first thought.
Without this getting out of hand and off topic, the underlying theme in you message (by using the words TUT TUT) is one of criticism. You have slated the catch previously, and I accept that you have retracted some of these comments, but I feel that by using the words
TUT TUT you accent your post.
The term 'i am not sure we should all jump to the conclusion that is a poor design' was aimed at BMX, with respect to his previous post, and the fact that his PCV was probably on its way out prior to catch can fit, not at you. It was also a plea to keep the thread on a constructive footing. I have highlit (word?) or highlighted the words in question.
I want BSH to investigate the failings of Ians, IGOR's and BMX's systems and if the design is at fault then a re-design is required, however i do feel that the thread should remain constructive.
Ps my English is just fine, thank you.
