radium engineering oil catch can

Hello all,

Finally got around to installing my radium engineering catch can. I was surprised by the amount of oil in the intercooler so this is an easy mod to help prevent it. I know there are other threads about different OCCs but I think this is a 1st for this make. The build quality is amazing. I needed to fabricate a bracket to mount it in the location I chose. Hope you like.
Here is the link if interested. http://www.radiumauto.com/Universal-...-Can-P178.aspx

I have an r56 jcw, and i like the can they make, however I do not know which fittings to choose. Can you expand on this topic a bit more.

I would suggest putting the OCC inside that cowl, only because your hovering over the exhaust somewhat, and the OCC needs a cool area to help the oil vapors condense

Thanks for the reply, I got that part down, I'm just wondering about fittings and hose sizes.
