[QUOTE="Dynobrat, post: 14685265, member: 164427"] It's never too late to add a catch can. You won't gain any boost adding them. And you don't have to clean your intercooler either. It doesn't hinder performance using or not using them. Of course you will read help prevent octane degradation and detonation but it's more a scare tactic to sell the damn things. It's designed to prolong engine life and reduce buildup on the pistons etc. It will also extend the life of your oil keeping it cleaner longer. So the idea behind them is a cleaner engine. Not just the intercooler. Like was stated. They don't stop 100% of the blowby, they reduce the amount going through quite substantially. Nobody will have a totally spotless squeaky clean intercooler and there is no need to lose confidence in adding them at any point during the engines life and use. The jury is out on the need for a drivers side catch can. I have both sides and after months of driving the car there's not even a hint of anything on the drivers side. (Many, many others will say the same). If you have an extra hundred dollars burning hole in your pocket get both sides but at least start with the passenger side. My car is a 2010. 16,000 miles. Never had a catch can. We did the blower swap and during the process the intercooler was very clean. A little oil is almost a gaurantee since these cans don't trap everything. But adding them won't hurt. It will only add to the life of the engine. No need to be discouraged. No need to disinfect and bleach the motor. Just add one for a cleaner engine overall. If you look at these pics sure you might see some oil but it is still clean. If you have a fresh clean oil change and add the catch can, a month later you check the can, you will see the oil "trapped" is much darker and dirtier than the oil in the crankcase. That's the idea behind them. To stop that contaminated oil from recirculating through the engine, even farther than just the intercooler. It helps keep things clean. Cleaner engine means better circulation of the oil and longer engine life. [/QUOTE]
