I have the damond, just haven't done much driving. Pretty easy install. Everything is connected just 2 bolts and 2 hose clamps for the can itself. Finally attach the plastic bung for the drain and the rubber hose too. Ease the entire thing in, bold it on to the stud, route the drain and connect the hose. The installation file is on their site.

Okay. I want straight plug and play. No buying, cutting, modding, or anything along those lines with this. Would like to hear more once you do some driving.

Somebody needs to come up with a way to heat these during the winter time for Canadians who will typically see -30 for a month straight. Have had too many incidents of the can or the lines freezing up due to excess water collected at those temperatures. Having it freeze up and block up the crack case vent can lead to some catastrophic issues.....

What about NOS heater blankets. They are 12volt.

The engine bay does get quite warm, turbo and all. Instead of waiting for the car to cool off, maybe drain it while it is warm? Don't burn yourself though.

I suggest to empty often and use a blow dryer or heat gun as needed. I was not prepared for how fast they fill in winter so I would check at least once a week. I have also had cases of stock lines freezing on me in my last car (Mazdaspeed6) so there is a chance of it happening without one. Another prevention route is to increase you driving times to at least 30 minutes then empty the can.

Been about 800km now and I pulled both the hoses from the pcv and the intake manifold. Obviously the PCV side was oily, but the intake side is dry. Stuck my finger inside the manifold and it was still oily, probably from before the OCC install. Stuffed a q-tip up the hose and it remained white. Tried to drain it but only around 20 drops came out, got bored and stopped counting beyond 12.

Have you any words of wisdom or insight in regards to this statement? [paranoid]

leave some windshield washer fluid in the can. Free meth injection XD j/k but it helps the content from freezing.

Oh only the blue very cheap fluid though. The fancy glycol stuff is not good.

[MENTION=2843]tjd_tdi[/MENTION] good job.
[MENTION=1333]BoostBumps[/MENTION] I suggest editing the location slightly to indicate the passenger side is relative to LHD not RHD. As people for all countries visit this. Some will work in RHD I beleive Mishi and Boomba are but not 100%

Please clarify further? Edit what "location slightly"? Are you referring to location in comparo table??

Just add LHD to the beginning of column 1 "Mounting location" so "LHD; Mounting location" therefore all references to Passenger side is to the LHD type cars.

Probably wise to have someone with an RHD vehicle confirm which of the kits will actually work on RHD vehicles before we edit the table...

As of now consider that they all work on LHD vehicles until 100% confirmed otherwise..

Also [MENTION=2843]tjd_tdi[/MENTION] is the one who generated the original table...Once we get the information needed I'm sure he'll update the table for us :) ...much appreciated and thanks!
