Yeh but cheaper lol.
Im saving for a 3 inch from turbo back (inc sports cat) exhaust system at the moment.
I have one similar to this but with a lever valve and no filter on top.

Right!
1st, apologies for keeping on dragging this thread along.
Ok, for now ive decided to keep with the catch tank besides the need to empty it every 2 weeks.
When i empty it there is water and a fair amount of creamy funk. So its doing its job.
Heres the issue i want to sort.
Id unscrewed the can and cleaned it out but noticed there was funk around the exit hole. So im assuming with some water there is also funk exiting the can and working its way to the turbo.
This is the issue i want to sort.
The can is empty with no baffling apart from in the lid.
Is there anything i can safely put in the can as an extra baffle?
Im guessing the fumes are entering and exiting without touching the sides taking the solids with it. So more baffling/surface area required.
Any suggestions as to what i can put in there to help out?
Steel wool?
Or maybe fill the can with plastic pond filter media?

You MUST baffle it , there is enough vacuum in there to pull it straight out of the can and into the inlet.
Do NOT use those things above - EVER.
PM Me - I have a baffled 300ml with 19mm fittings you can have .

The vacuum will only be that high if you have the suction pump still fitted. The TIP vacuum won’t be that strong

Well. Mine don’t work too well so, it’s mainly there to make some noise

Mine is baffled but doesnt seem to be efficient enough. The cavernous space of the can is going to waste.
Also unless the media in the can break up, surely they cant make it to the turbo as the fumes/vapour have to pass through the puc.
At worst, causing a blockage?

Ok Leon gurus, ive had an idea.
Will explain myself 1st.
I want to keep the catch tank system but concerned the 500ml one i have isn't up to the job. Reason being a fair amount of moisture and that horrible residue is still making its way to the puc and therefore the turbo. Where it is located there isn't room to fit any larger and also cant find anything suitable.
Now, heres the plan.
Getting a matching 2nd catch tank and running them in tandem. In and out the 1st then in and out the 2nd.
1st one catching what it does already and the 2nd catching what the 1st isn't coping with = less moisture and residue.
Ive had a look and should be able to have both fitted and working fine without it looking stupid, if not a little busy.
Opinions please.

They don’t have one way valves so I’d guess when the first fills up some will go back down to the rocker breather and crank case ? I just stuck that tap on mine. Easier then taking the bottom off the can
