Here's mine. This can is nicely constructed, the sight glass can be insalled for vertical and horizontal mounting. Got mine for around $100. The A/N fittings and braided hose is from Mr. Gasket, it's their shadow series. I mounted the can to the bracket that the stock intercooler is mounted on, using an "L" bracket. Greddy also sells mounting hardware seperately.

A breather will work instead of going all the way back to the turbo right?

You can use a breather, but i'm going to try going back to vacuum.... i get some smoke on track, indicating i'm not evacuating all of the "crankcase" pressure.
I had the GReddy can for a while, but, at the track I'll fill it after one run, and there's no convenient way to drain it... I don't know what they were thinking.

Another thing you can do is make sure you run the updated oil pan.
This is a quote from the 3rd gen masters tech guide.
"Early third generation cars used in competition sometimes had oil slosh move up the filler pipe during hard turns. A modification was made to oil pan baffles to correct this condition. The oil pan part number for this sympton is N3A1-10-400A."

I haven't pulled the manual out ye,t but isn't the little plastic tank on the bottom two studs under the throtle body and elbow an oil catch tank? ...if so, then why couldn't that just be replaced with a larger unit? This would explain why oil catch cans have no drain valve.

Here is a good write up and explanation about the catch can. I picked up a vented catch can from jazz and its a really nice unit with a drain on the bottom. I just have not found a place to put it yet.

I have stated a few times there was an oil baffle update in the later year fd oil pan so I am assuming thats why you were reccomended to change yours out.

Yeah, I just found out it was a fuel vapor catch tank. I don't want a breather filter on my oil catch tank. Smog techs fail you for breather filters.
Here's the explenation used on rhdjapan for Custco and Sard:
Maybe i'm understanding that wrong but it sounds like it goes inline in between the filler neck and extension manifold (vacuum).
Here's the explenation used on rhdjapan for Custco and Sard:
The item will allow for the release/blowby of gas and oil and will return it to the combustion area of the engine. In turn, the engine will remain cleaner and performance will remain optimal in addition to a great engine bay dress-up piece!

Is there any reason why the line can't be plumbed back to the block? I could leave the PCV connected to the extension manifold to releive pressure. The bottom nipple on the oil filler neck to one of the ports on the catch tank and then the other port T'ing in to the oil line from oil cooler to oil filter/block.

The difference is that the UIM location will see both vacuum and boost, therefor you need to maintain the check valve as to not pressurize the oil system from the manifold. The primary intake location is vacuum, never sees boost so a check valve is not needed.
