So I have waited a few days to post this just to make sure. Here is a little info on my car. 3" Exhaust, CS DP & RP, TXS FMIC, Forge BPV and running 18psi. I installed a catch can a few days after the DP install due to smoke. I was hoping that this would solve the issue but it didnt....at least not for awhile(two weeks). Well 3 days ago I stopped smoking when at idle. I have been checking my catch can off and on over the last two weeks and now the thing is 1/4 of the way full. I was expecting less but hey whatever. My thoughts are that it took awhile to burn off the last of the residue in the IM and motor. I am extremely excited and would suggest this mod to EVERYBODY, especially those with full TBEs.

BTW I have been monitoring oil levels and it has continued to read full. I did an oil change today and switched to full synthetic!
 
How hard was it to install the catch can?I have my can already but have not taken the time to install it yet because it seems like its going to take a entire afternoon and I have 3 kids so time is limited.
 
I pawned it off on a speed shop. I was too busy to take the time to do it myself and needed a fix. It is pretty involved, 5 hrs or so. IM must come off to access the PCV under there.
