Instead of having a EGR, I have a tube from my valve cover to my throttle body for emissions. The air traveling in that line can contain oil and other nasty gunk that gets into the intake. This oil catch can will filter out the crappy-ness and keep my intake nice and clean.

it also helps on cars with an external PCV in the valve cover from sucking in excess oil

i have on on the merc and has made it run better got rid of some pinging. hard to do on a 3800 with the way the PCV is set up

Ya.. The few times Ive removed my intake manifold I always found some little oil. The first time was the worest though. (on the 3800)

thinking about it you could drill a hole in a valve cover run a hose to the catach can then another ot the intake tube before the maf

Post pictures after the install. I have been curious as to how you mount this and how it looks.

I wanted to check if it's collecting oil already but since it sits right next to the exhuast manifold it was pretty hot!

Are superchargers for the g8 gt very pricey?

Are there cheaper mods you can go with to make equivalent power? I have no clue about the g8 gt platform obviously, time for some lessons. On a side note, the catch can is good idea and looks nice.

VCM intake added. Pictures in first post

Very cool intake. I have some questions about it though. The stock intake looks like it grabbed air from the gab between body and hood? Is the hood not functional? Is that really restrictive as it would be a straight shot through the filter into the intake. Also, how is your current intake setup? Is the cone isolated from heat?

_________________

The hood can be made to be funtional, but that would allow water to get in. Stock air box is similar in design to the GP, grabbing air from the fender. This current one grabs air between the air condenser and the radiator, protecting it from sucking up lots of water from rain. It is some what isolated from heat, but not so much. Having the air ram it's self into the engine quickly does help a lot from letting the heat affect it much.

When I had my WS6 hood on my old 02 GT I took little metal sliding doors (forgot what they are called) and bolted them to the hood. I could shut them if it was raining and would close them in winter.
