about 20 bucks plus shipping.. more expensive than your DIY but a LOT less than the first one I found. Empi is a first class Vdub company

yeah i had one of those on my bug, and it helped out a bunch. but u need those for vws cause of the high presure build up in the crankcase. pluse that routs the oil back into the sump. acts a little like a oil cooler too.

I read this post and went to get my oil changed @ Walmart.

When I was therI found the exact parts and made my own oil catcher in about 3 minutes. Thanks I think this is a great idea because I have found lots of oil in my intake and TB!

I haven't collescted any oil yet but we'll see

Just checked it and there is a bout a table spoon of oil/water mix in a couple days

Is this bad?

At least I know it works and that the oil is not going into my intake.

it wouldn't really matter, either way.

Both n/a and turbo cars can benifit from this.
It isn't likely much if any oil will be collected in a n/a car but it will by no means hurt performance. However, this mod is a must if you are boosting.
