Does that mean it isn't doing anything then?

It would appear that way at the moment. But who's to say it won't start churning out oil later on... Maybe during the heat of the summer

Sorry man, couldn't help it.

bb1boy - It's not that they catch a LOT of oil, just that over time, the little adds up. My pipes are also clean (much to the wife's approval, fnar fnar), but the catch can does collect some oil. It would take months, probably years to actually fill it, but it's surprising when you open them how much oil WOULD be going back in. It's not so much for the 'performance' for me, it's the benefit of not clogging up the intake.

Ok cool, so it's more of a preventative measure.. Do you guys think there will be much difference in usability between the £20 eBay specials and the £85 Mishimoto's..?

Not at all

And aren't the Mishimoto ones more like £200!

EDIT: Or try £262.80

Who was it that made their own one that looked good? It might have even been back on PUK.

I can recall that. Out of a bottle wasn't it? @Vtecmec?

It was a solid metal canister with metal chain in it.

Ahh. I remember someone making one with a screw cap lid.
