DETAILS
Radium Engineering catch cans feature large 10AN ORB ports, a 4AN ORB drain port, 2-step oil separation baffling, and an O-ring sealed dipstick. These kits mount using factory holes and integrate perfectly with the surrounding components. They do NOT vent to atmosphere (VTA), thus are emissions and track legal. Closed loop systems remove the oil and sludge from the PCV gasses before it is routed to the engine to be burned. A closed loop system also promotes negative crankcase pressure for optimal performance. Furthermore, closed systems prevent unwanted oil vapors from entering the cabin. The dipsticks built into the catch cans allow easy inspection of accumulated fluid. No cutting, drilling or permanent modifications are required.
The PCV catch can kit runs inline between the PCV valve and the intake manifold and promotes clean filtered air back into the engine. When the intake manifold pressure is close to or greater than atmospheric pressure, the PCV "check" valves close and, thus, this hoses experience no flow. Conversely, the PCV hoses will experience "metered" vacuum when the engine is idling, steady state cruising, and decelerating. This would normally draw unwanted crankcase vapor, unspent fuel, and oil sludge into the intake manifold immediately after a high load run.
Without making any permanent modifications, the CCV catch can mounts underneath the OEM air intake duct. To retain factory functionality, the CCV catch can runs inline between the crankcase vent (CCV) port and the turbo inlet pipe. At low loads, it experiences atmospheric pressure. However, when the engine is at high load (WOT), the line will experience high flow from the crankcase into the intake system. This would normally lead to oil and sludge accumulation in the air filter intake pipe. The CCV catch can captures this and promotes clean filtered air back into the intake.
High quality parts, and is a must have for reliability in the future with these engines. Installation took me a few hours, but I took my time and was working on a few other items at the same time. Instructions are great, just have to download them from their website first. Only small gripe is that the CCV catch can interferes with the removal of the passenger side radiator fan, so if you need to remove the fan in the future, you will have to pull the catch can first so that you can remove the fan from the car without interference.

Would've been a great product had it been able to be installed next to the ETS airbox. The quality looked amazing! wish I could've used it and now I have to go with a different product.
Will not take away the rating just because it wasn't able to be installed with the ETS intake w/box.
