Another idea to check out. See what you think. I run a pair of BSH cans on wife's 09 R56S figuring they are better than nothing. These would need to drain into oil pan or holding tank, maybe just valve the drain line & clear it often. Don't know how long elements would last w/ all that condensation in certain climates.

Hmmm, very interesting stuff there. I can only think a holding tank being viable. Unless you want to get into drilling into the engine somewhere to recirculate the oil back, but that doesn't sound attractive.

Yes, I recall checking into that manufacturer when I was upgrading the PCV system on my 02 corvette. But, there are a lot of unknowns with that product that someone would have to be willing to figure out. e.g. holding tank, reducing the PCV hoses down to accommodate the inlet and outlet port size on this unit. The life span of the filter media and replacement cost and where to purchase replacements and how condensation is handled.

I've have the mc2 (All Angles Design) on my 09 mcs for over a year. I have it routed to the left side, did not block this off. It works well and I have to empty it every week when temp. is bellow 35, but it is easy to do with the twist off cup on the bottom of the can. Have not had to empty it this summer. Brilliant design and quality workmanship.
