    Default Oil Catch Can for VZ

    Can anyone recommend a good oil catch can for the VZ alloytech? I'd like one that comes with the correct fittings for that engine/car not just a generic one you have to try and find room for in the engine bay then drill holes.

    Went to clean out my throttle body the other night and i was surprised at how much oil sludgy black crap that had built up in the intake manifold behind it, a decent oil catch can will stop this from happening.

    Yeah even the N/A cars seem to get it, more than I expected from the 3.6l.

    I could only find one catch can for the VZ on ebay was for the 5.7 & 6.0 8's. I'm not sure if the kit would support the alloytech 6, im sure it'd work the same no problem, just thinking of location in the engine bay.

    Prob best to find out if they work in the Alloytech's!
    best location i can think of is on the right hand side of the eng bay behind the airbox or next to the strut frame.
