The result is that it didn't need a full bottle (4oz) to reach the max level of the dipstick. After that i took it for a spin with multiple 10psi pulls and the vent plug is dry.

During that spin and at 60mph at 6th gear on a highway, a GTR (R35) reached to my rear very fast and gave me several high beams flashes. I immediately downshifted to 3rd and smashed the throttle. Till top of 4th gear the GTR was getting behind to about 6 cars lenghts. After that i gave up because i needed to exit the highway. I guess i gave him a lesson not to mess with other cars...

I really like your catch can. Too bad it is such expensive compared to other. Where did you bought yours and what was the final price with shipping and custom duties.
yeah these blowers are delicate and need careful maintainance, be careful, read the instructions vortech sent with your ess kit and it tells you an overfill can damage the blower.....

Re th catch can i picked it up from 42 draft design, lovely lovely piece..... bit of a pain to get all in place but im glad its all in now, for some reason this item arrived to my home with no import charge!???!!?? why?? i have no idea but im not complaining :-) it was expensive however but, this car is worth it!!
