I could care less what you think of my posts. They are no worse than Tuner who will not answer any legitimate questions. Other than "I'm an auto engineer, here are some pics of cars I built" or with scary pictures.

The catchcan, as I have said has little to do with the shudder, it is caused by the water acccumulation in the CAC, and it is present in all weather. My point in all of this is if you correct the PCV system so it evacuates like a PCV system should, then it stops....something you keep ignoring. The catchcan only collects the gunk AFTER it has entered the crankcase.
:
So you don't have an answer to the question? I'm drawing logical conclusions based on your theory.

Left Plate, the same can be said about catch cans as the cure for CAC moisture and limp mode issues. By your own admission in the other thread, you haven't used yours in the warm months yet to know if it works. And as you said, the RX can has only been out for weeks, and "time will tell". I hope you are right and it does help, but some of you are preaching it as a cure when it has never been tested in the right conditions yet. We all agree it keeps crap from the intake which can only help that. But does it prevent CAC moisture buildup? Time will tell over the next 10 months.

I've had mine for about 2 months and it is capturing alot of what looks like water, condensate, and a very thin layer of oil. It doesn't take an engineer to figure out that this isn't good cycling through the motor. Was the motor built to take that abuse? Who knows, but I'm glad I put mine in. I would have put one eventually condensate problems or not.

I guess mine works properly "only" 90% of the time. Most driving is done while not in boost.

It's advertising and I have to give you credit for such well-thought-out and orchestrated execution.

Sorry couldn't resist. I do think tuner believes what he says and he could be right. I disagree with him on a small part but think he is telling a very believable story for most of it and I don't hold any malice. Much like aliens on the x-files,I want to believe. I just don't.
I might buy the can anyway since it seems to me like a good idea even if he is wrong about it fixing the CAC condensation.

It IS advertising. It's the classic "create the dragon, slay the dragon" routine. Create the dragon by showing ugly pics of intake valves and gunk in the CAC. Explain how you're just the guy to slay the dragon by showing pics of race cars and magazine covers, and explain how your sword is just the one to slay the dragon. Point out how other swords may work (sorta, but not really), but your sword is the only one with the proper check valves to fix the PCV and actually slay the dragon.

Don't ask the question if you don't like the answer!
Just EXACTLY what kind of an engineer are you?
