Yep, I believe some is caused due to the oil sprayers spray onto the hot piston bottoms under Boost vaporizing and then drawn into the Clean Air side to the turbo and CAC without any fresh air in the block to dilute it. The major reason for the Oil/water condensation.

This looks like bs. In Colorado we don't deal with sob zero too terribly often just once in a while.well get that kind of cold but I usu don't go out in it. Plus it's sits in the garage all day anyway. Recently however, we took a trip to Wisconsin where the temps were that low and the truck was outside the whole time and the fuel economy dropped from better than 20mpg to less than 16 mpg. Please advise

I installed a UPR dual valve catch can on my eco, drove for about 500 miles air temp was in the 70's and only got about a quarter ounce of yellow water Im guessing fuel/water. maybe even less. It seems you guys are catching a lot more.

Maybe pull the can apart and make sure everything is intact? I installed my upr Monday and have caught about 8 oz, driven maybe 250 miles. Temps have been anywhere from 30-65

Also, one day I thought it was done draining I moved the drain valve back and forth and tapped the can, then a bunch more drained. Maybe hit the can a lil just to be sure?

Turns out I'm just dumb. I had the line with the check valve that exits the can and goes to the intake manifold installed backwards. So the check valve never opened. Also might be another dumb question. How does the clean side separator work?
