That is what I used. it worked great

Here it is,

Exactly 1 tables spoon

The shorter the distance the more oil it collects, this was after a 200 mile comute from the last pic I took to now.

At that rate the oil filling the catch can, im wondering how much oil is on my intercooler,(remember I lost a gallon of oil coming from cali) I still get a little of blue haze at start up but in pretty sure its the left over oil in the intercooler draining into the intake ports. Warm runs exelent with little to no black smoke.

I know this is an old thread, but was wondering if I use this to do mine will it vent ok and not build too much back pressure? I see on the home made ones everyone drills wholes in them to vent.

As long as you return it to the doghouse vent on the valve cover, it will vent fine

I built my own too mounted it behind the cab and ran the exit hose out to the bumper. It does not catch much and a lot gets blown out the back. Not sure it was worth it at all.
