That's the one I have and no need for one on the drivers side.

OK thanks!! I did call UPR and they said they do have a smaller seperator
for the drivers side. Said it might be useful if you race a lot with the TVS (or any blower I guess). It is supposed to stop any little bits of oil that come out under full boost.

I have the passenger's side, and will be getting that driver's side as well. I see no reason not to, especially since it still pulls oil vapors into the intake tract. It may be not as much as the passenger's side. It just may be enough to lower your octane, and if you are on the edge, that is the last thing you need. My build is almost complete.

I only went with the passenger side. In 700 miles of street use I don't even think it had a small dixie cup full of oil. Not worth the extra money for the driver side imo. Passenger side should do enough

I'd never buy one, but the guy I bought my TVS kit off of included it so I wasn't going to complain. Plus the JLT units look nice anyway.

I don't know why anyone would not spend the extra coin ($150?) on the driver's side on keeping oil vapors out of the intake tract. Over time, it will build up on the intercooler, and that would be a real pain to remove and clean. The oil vapors also lower octane, not good for FI.
