is this only as a benifit to those running F/I. Or can you run one with a non-forced engine.

I have mine on my N/A setup. It really doesn't matter, just depends on how you plumb it.

I wish I would have used one since day 1. When I did my Radix install, my manifold and intake runners on the heads were coated with oil build up.

I think I should try this. The reason being is that on average I lose about a little less that a quart between oil changes. It might be buring up but it also might be going somewhere else. You guys think this is a good idea to try it.

Yea, I'm N/A, and I couldn't believe how much oil was being sucked up through the PVC...then I thought about the inside of my intake, and my combustion chambers, and my valves...aaarrrgghhh! Did a seafoam induction service right after the installation of the can.

i think this is a good idea for everyone. i have had a few motors apart and the amount of oil in the intake is prety sick, there is no way it can be a good thing.

on my set up the pcv goes right in front of the turbo. that means all that oil goes thru the intercooler. i bet there is a significant drop in efficency with an oil coated intercooler.

i have a question. i have found baked on carbon on the pistons and intake ports and back of the throttle blade. is that oil related or just something that happens even without the oil?

desTRUCKtive

I am not to sure on the pistons and the intake ports, but from what I understand behind the TB plate is all the buildup from the EGR.

I did clean my TB couple of weekends ago and I stuck my finger in the intake and there was a nice thin even coat of oil smudge

So AMW doesnt use a filter?? What if you used a slightly larger coalesing filter than the one everyone is using for the homemade ones and just wrapped a piece of stainles mesh screen where the filter goes and somemething like a filter element laying on the bottom to absorb the oil so it can't bypass the can??? I have a larger one, I may have to do some experimenting.

The lid for the AMW can has a filter built in with a bunch of metal rings inside - goes about 2" deep.

Yea, you're going to get some carbon deposits no matter what...just a by-product of combustion.
