Air/oil seperator

Has anybody installed an air/oil seperator to prevent oil blow by in the supercharger. I bought one and will be isntalling it today. I was just curious to see if anybody else has installed one yet. Here is what I am talking about.

Done this before to a bunch of turbo cars, but used other things. You can use an old school carburated fuel filter. Those cheap glass ones. Just unscrew an end and take out the white filter from inside. Install it sideways and it'll catch the oil. Another one we used is a water seperator for an air compressor with the filter removed. It looks very similar to that one you just bought. Both of them are very cheap and will work the great.

It's a catch-can...

I went the easier route and put a breather filter on the nipple coming off my valve cover. The intake side you would have to put a nipple on to plug also. Fortunately for me, when I had my intake made, I had them leave the nipple off so I don't need to worry about plugging it. I definately agree with the idea. I don't want that shitty air coming from my valvetrain to pass through my TB and S/C.

Good luck with it, it looks like it will work well...

I had one of the techs at my shop install it last night. I will make a how-to thread with lots of pictures, but here is a picture of the end result.
