My understanding of an Oil catch tank is that it basically stops oil from blowing back through the intake and around your engine bay - works best in conjunction with a crankcase breather filter.

May be useful if your FTO is doing a lot of track days or you have a turbo on there (i.e. engine under a lot of stress) but its not really a performance mod.

It wouldn't be high up my list of mods but I could see how it would be useful alright. Money better spent on an upgraded fuel pump and/or fuel pressure regulator if you don't already have one.

BTW - did you see one for sale somewhere?

as you said... I won`t be pushing my car on the track so I`ll spend this money for something else. However if you`d like to upgrage your engine bay look it is a perfect mod!
