I am looking to buy a catch can only problem is that there are very many catch cans to choose from. 1.) Does it matter which one I get. 2.) Is the install a pain in the a$$. 3.) Does it really make a big difference. I read a thread about them and saw some gross stuff come out of an engine, but does this really help. I also heard a rumor it helps little bit with smokey turbos. Thanks for any input.

Check the HMS catch can. I have one on an 07 supercharged Mustang and have been thinking of getting one for my MS3. It runs $161 plus shipping. If there is a better one for the MS3 please let us know. FYI, I don't care for the inexpensive plastic hardware store type.
 
Saikou Mitchi is my recommendation. There's a GB going on another forum that has everything you need to install. You pay more, but you don't have to gather the hardware on your own that's needed (hoses, new PCV, clamps, mounting bracket, etc.). Install is straightforward and should take about an hour (give or take).
 
Ebay has tons of catch cans there. So long as they hold the boost pressure and have some sort of EZ drain connection, you should be good to go. No need to spend a bundle on a can. So long as it is SEALED well. Instead of using a 2nd PCV valve, use a "check-valve" that can be positioned in any way, from mcmaster-carr.

Well I would really like one of these catch cans, but I need posts before I can even contact the guy who makes them. I don't know how I feel about that forum. I couldn't even view anything until I had posts. anyways if there is any other way to contact the seller let me know.

He had a website up for it and I bought one from him. Quick email responses and status updates the whole time. Matt will take care of you.
 
Yeah...Matt's customer service is second to none. I've talked to him numerous times on the phone when I had questions. He called me on his break during his shift at work.
