Can you give a parts break down? When I was at Home Depot it was going to cost me an arm and a leg for the filter + all the various adaptors I would need to go from the 1/4NPT female threads on the filter to 5/8" barb for the PVC line.

At the time I got my kit, UPR didnt include the OEM connectors so I just cut the factory ones out of the PCV line. Then I bought a new OEM PCV line, it includes two new connectors, for like $19 on eBay from Tasca.

I got mine directly from UPR. There's a 10% off coupon, custapp2013, that basically covers shipping. I think Stage 3 has them with free shipping.

That IS pretty cool. I didn't catch that tip from Tuner Boost until you mentioned it. Below is the link to UPR's extension.

Tuner Boost, was this from a 5.0? And if so was it a stock engine on a F150? Mine doesn't catch that much in a month. Thanks.

I'm assuming that pic is from a blown or turbo'ed engine that was run hard alot. Put an effective catch can on a motor like that and that's what you get.
There is no way a N/A 5.0 that is not raced or run hard alot will produce that much in 1-2 weeks, even with the most effective can on it.

MAKPerformance, Ecoboostpowerparts, and several other supporting vendors here have some complete systems of some of those listed.
Also, the UPR extension is a must.....and if any have the moroso, diablosprot, billet tech, (and about 20-30 other brands that are made by billet tech) the extension fits yours as well).

That air compressor unit is good to test a cans effectivness for pull through only. They themselves let a ton through and I do NOT recommend using one. It will catch oil, but let most pass through and is not really helping.

I do urge ANY to test any can your using for peace of mind personally. Cheap and easy to do and then you know as all claim to be the best. We purchase every can we see come on the market, test them on the same vehicle for the same 100 mile route and same driving style with a clear glass inline fuel filter, or a air compressor unit as shown and it quickly shows almost all let a ton of this mix pass through. Only the ones I listed seem to catch all, or nearly all, and that is the goal.

No. That is an ecoboost in 1 week of use in FL on a cold week. (app 1000 miles a week).

Here is in subzero temps in less than 200 miles:

And what accumulates in the EB CAC (intercooler).It is a mix of water/unburnt fuel/oil mist/and sulfuric acid:

The ecoboost has a serious flaw in the PCV design and only evacuates at idle and low throttle when no boost is present, so it also causes a great deal of water & fuel to accumulate in the engine oil diluting and contaminating it...and in some cases hydro-lock with broke pistons and bent rods if ingested in a "gulp".

The 5.0 does a very good job of PCV evacuation and will catch a fraction of this.

Here is a 5.0 system with cleanside separator as well that retains 100% metered air for the fresh side:

If anyone wants more in depth details on the combustion by-products and the effect on internal engine parts, etc. or the oil mist alone and how it effects the combustion process, just ask.

Oh, and the OEM fittings are also available through Doorman, or you can easily use your original ones by slitting the pressed on hard plastic line and popping the OEM ones off.
