The catch can is on my RS. I am running it still. I have all the parts but I have just not had the time or man power to build them. I am hoping to actually put an additional part time guy on at our shop to help stay caught up and work on some new projects such as this. My hope is with one full time welder and a part time guy we can actually have things done and on the shelf ready to ship.
This is something I will be working on in the near future.

This has been coming for the last few months and I ran it on my RS with great success. It performed perfectly and I didn't want to release the part until it was very well tested.
The original can I had mounted to the passenger side strut tower, this worked fine in my car but was not possible in a fully equipped EVO with A/C, ABS and a strut tower bar.
We have changed the location of the car and the venting feature. The can is designed to allow you to run a hose back to your turbo inlet if you so choose. I do not like the cluttered look of it and have chosen to just run the breather filter that is being included standard.
The new catch can has four ports. The top port is the vent. The included breather can be removed and a hose can be attached to the top of the catch can and ran back to your turbo inlet if you wish to do so. This will pull the crankcase vapors out of the can and run them back through the engine. It works quite well. The two side ports are for the inlet hoses from the valve cover. The stock valve cover has one vent on the drivers side and the PCV valve. This is intended to eliminate the PCV but can be run still using it too. If you choose to run the PCV you will simply hook the hose from the valve cover directly to the side port of the catch can and then you can run the top port, with an inline PCV back to the intake manifold. This will allow the PCV to function but will not let the oil get back into the intake manifold.
Last and the most important feature of the can is the 4th port for returning the oil that gets into the catch can back to your oil pan where it belongs.
Included in the kit is a modified, new dipstick. You simply remove your old dipstick, replace it with the new one and run the hose from the bottom of the catch can back into the dipstick. This also acts as another port to relieve crank case pressure. You end up with 3 ports to vent crankcase pressure rather than the 1 factory port. This does free up some horsepower.
The can mounts to an existing tab on the firewall and uses an existing bolt to hold it in place. The only fitment issue is with the factory fuel pressure solenoid located on the passenger side of the intake manifold. For anyone running a stand alone it should be eliminated anyway. For those of you with the factory ECU simply unbolt it and leave hooked up so you don't get a CEL.
In the weeks to come we will be releasing a fitting to replace the factory PCV valve to make running the hose into the can cleaner and easier. This will be included in the kit price and anyone ordering now we will send it out to you as soon as they are machined. Shouldn't be more than 2 weeks, for now a hose can simply be put on the PCV and ran to the catch can.
We have these built and ready to ship on the shelf. The catch cans come with the can, breather filter, dipstick and PCV replacement fitting.
The entire kit is built from 304 grade stainless steel and is TIG welded.
The price is $259.
Here are the pictures of the final product.

I like it!
Question Dave... you mentioned the following:
"You end up with 3 ports to vent crankcase pressure rather than the 1 factory port."
Do you mean 3 ports versus the _2_ factory ports?

oh you sneaky bugger........ , that is quite clever with the added section on the dipstick tube..... Very impressive david...
p.s out of curiousity have you ran into condensation of water in the catch can during the cold months ? .. the only reason I ask, is that I have to drain my can when it gets cold outside and it is mostly filled up with water ( not that much but significant enough)
