Is it worth it or is it worth it to you? I don't know. I go back and forth on this one because my is operating just fine. I do have some oil residue on the cold side pipe. But it's not spewing all over the engine bay and it's not really a problem if functioning as designed. I have no problem doing mods like +0HP deletes but where I start to hesitate is by changing things drastically from the OEM engineering. The engineers did a good job; the finance people and .Gov are what is holding them back.
The general consensus is the Misimoto kit is probably the best overall. If/when I get around to doing this, this will be the kit I go with. I have a few other priority items in front of it.

I think its more of a matter of how much oil residue the inter-cooler can hold before it becomes an issue, thats my concern............if its showing up in the tubing then it has to be puddling in the bottom of the cooler restricting air flow. It won't show up in the engine bay (its supposed to be an air tight system). I'm sure folks here have done this and I want to hear from them too.

Yeah, no doubt. I think this mod has its place but it's one of those more gray areas. It's a bit more difficult to see a direct gain. Like I said, when I get through some other priority items I'll likely do this one. I see direct value in the catch can.

The factory CCV box is supposed to act like a catch can, but it obviously doesn't catch everything. One option is to just run a hose down underneath the truck, potentially with a can on the end of it to prevent dripping. The downside to that is the crankcase only vents when pressure is > atmospheric. The factory setup keeps the crankcase at less than atmospheric pressure. Less air, less resistance for rotating assembly.
