Seems like it would be easier to vent directly to the atmosphere and not have to maintain the catch can. Does anyone make a direct vent system.

What good would that do now that the 2015 EB has the intake and outlet on the bottom so there's no reservoir that could store anything. It all gets ingested right away.

Definitely easier. And definitely against all sorts of environmental laws.

Usually at regular oil change intervals but in temps below 35 degrees maybe more frequently. Order the larger Monster can to drain less frequently.

There is an integrated ball valve at the bottom of the can. Just stick a container like an empty water bottle underneath to catch the collected waste.

This is pretty important, pulling vacuum from both turbo inlets allows for maximum vacuum. Our system provides constant evacuation at idle, deceleration & Wide Open Throttle/BOOST. Tapping into the turbo inlets will not effect any of the sensors etc, no check engine lights.
