Basically, it's useless unless you track the car.

Cusco also makes an oil catch can, which I'm looking to purchase. I just don't know which fitting to get 9mm or 15mm. Actually, which one will work better for an FD?

The only difference is the size. The larger the can, the more oil it can hold before you'll need to drain it.

Also, it doesn't only happen on hard turns. Mine happens going straight. I have excessive blowby. I'd say that I have a weakening seals, causing extra pressure build up.

I'm also curios of what would be better or more suitable for the FD. the 9mm or 15mm? some reasons would be great as well.

Just use the 9mm. It fits better on the oil filler neck nipple.
