audi's and vw's have an oil problem all their own, its due to the lack of pcv valve, and using a box on the side of the block that fill with burnt oil , plugs up and causes pressure in the crankcase,....lol...92 protege lx-

I put up that link because it has lots of good pictures and decriptions.
For the inline filter, do you have to do anything to the stock pcv valve?
I was thinking of making one out of a bottle but I thought it would be best to ask around, Maybe there was a common vender.... I will get a cheap ebay one for the intake side and a nice air tight one for the boosted side.Love my

Is that a sealed canister, I mean will it be ok on the boost side of the intake? I found it on harborfreights site but it does not have the theaded hose adaptors on either side, I am guessing harborfreight would also have those? And the blue cover on the bottom of the canister what is that for?Last edited by E=MC^2; 11-13-2010, 08:33 PM.Love my

The blue thing is a vacuum cap. It keep sucking air threw the drain so I rtv'ed that cap on. I just unscrew the jar to empty it now. It's designed for use inline on an air compressor hose so I imagine it should do fine on the boost side. The hose barb fittings were separate. 1/4" pipe thread 3/8" hose barb iirc.
