Oil breather catch can?

rnoswal · 01-28-2006, 03:37 PM

I just got an 87 turbo. The engine has about 60K on it. I remember a thread that mentioned something about oil pooling up in the air system. I saw a solution in a thread that had a nice catch resevoire from JAZ, but I was wondering if this is a must, or not necessary.

The reason I ask is because the piping is clean right now because most of it had to be replaced, but will this be a problem that needs a fix? I realize the breather system currently vents the oil vapors back through the intake and can cause a nice carbon build up, but what about this pooling of oil in the intake piping system? The turbo has recently been gasket refreshed and the engine sounds pretty solid.

What if any fixes in this area are needed and if a fix is needed, just what are the ways of doing this from others of you that have a turbo model?

Thanks

Russ
