Wondering if a Oil Catch Can is worth it?
How does it effect the cooling properties? Good possibility I will track the car in the future. |

I'd love to find a catch can that completely replaces the oil tower. I have dry sump so don't need oil fill (or dipstick) and it would be nice to just have a tidy box to insert all the hoses directly into it.
Never understood why VW designed that oil/breather tower that way, and with that method of attachement to the case. I'm sure there's a historical reason for it, but it just don't make no sense... I may have to design something and ask Foley The Wizard to fab it up. Use the same cork gasket (can't think of any other way) but provide all the inbound fittings, and secure it to the case with plates threaded into the holes where there clip currently goes into. Or something like that. |
