just to set the record straight, I bought the e-bay can (as mentioned in the leading post, got it delivered for $40 total, it came with all the hoses and clamps and was the right size...no cutting needed. I went a tiny bit further by adding a stainless steel scrubby and an internal tube to conduct the incoming funk to the bottom.

No. They're not stainless. Screen such as what jlm mentioned earlier is good.

DIY Catch Can

Here's my version, I call it, R2D2 revision1
By the way there is a whole scuncie metal pot scrubber in the cap, a drain tube down the center of course and a dip stick rather than leaky tube's. It is held in place on a simple L bracket with two velcro strips for easy clean out removal.
Nonpatent pending of course.

What is the general outcome of this thread then? I have a GTT OCC sat here on my desk at home and I'm really not sure wether to fit it or not?

Don't want to upset the engines vacum or anything else really

Go for it ! It will only help keep the IC clean. You can run both vent lines to this OCC, only the Alta has to be modified to work with both lines.
