alta use to sell one, it was the alta perrin one with a silicone middle but they dont anymore. maybe adam will let us know why they took them off their product line. anyways dont waste your money on a catch can, just make one. but if you really need one they are almost all universal you just have to use some brain power to mount it and run the lines

they work, do you need one on a stock vehicle no but for racecars they want more than a breather you have to have it connected to a catch can.

anyways if you want to see how much actually comes out just hook up a mtdew bottle for a few days and you will see how little comes out, you shouldnt worry about a catch can on the mini

Yeah, the MINI doesn't produce too much... the new 335is I hear make great use for catch cans...

I wonder why some turbo cars need them and why a car like the MINI doesn't...

If you don't think that the R56 could benefit from a catch can, you might want to take a look at this post over in the problems/issues section

There is no performance gain from having one its kinda like a protection thing from your motor reingesting oil into the intake but if its true that the MINI doesn't produce that much then there is no point in having one. Also if you really want one just get a universal one and mount it in there.
