It catches the excessive build of carbon and sludge from both your engine and intake system. hmmm do I think it is worth it that I can't say. I have it on my track car and once a while when I check I get some but not a lot. Some guys made their own catch can for about $20 I think.

Highly recommended on FI cars mounted between the PCV and intake.
Without a catch-can, all that oil/carbon gunk builds-up and can cause pre-igntion (pinging) over time.

Oh did not realize that he is FI. I should have read the posting a bit more careful. If that is the case then I would suggest it. You definitely would like a healthy and clean engine.
When you're FI you're introducing positive crank case pressure. That will cause oil and fumes to spew out from the valve cover hole. A catch can will "catch" the oil and fumes.

Ya, I ended up picking up a GReddy Oil Catch Can from my local shop.. they cut me a deal on it so it was pretty cheap. Just gotta find a spot to cram it into the engine bay now.. so limited on space now
can you post pictures yeefit? what hoses did you connect to it?
Ya, give me a couple days... the GReddy can that I bought came with hoses and it simply goes inbetween the head and the intake.
To be honest, I've had mine in for a while now and my hoses are clear and there is no sign of any oil going in so I'm not sure if its necessary. I haven't really driven my car really hard tho since its winter here and I still need to install my clutch and mounts
sugarphreak posted a picture of inside his weapon r intake and there was quite a bit of oil residue built up on the walls. i figure this is more of a safety precaution than anything.

i was thining of installng an oil catch can, but dont really want the extra part to be jammed in the engine or more work...so im just going to install a breather filter on the PCV and clean it every few weeks.
anyone know of any problems io might have? im kinda new to FI...

I agree with that statement,
A catch-can is pretty much a must on any FI vehicle. Even people with stock turbo's should be considering one, I have seen a few threads on the BMW 1-Series website that show how much stuff it actually prevents from re-entering the engine and it is gross.
