The AMW catch can is top notch...the price has doubled since I bought mine though. If I would have known, I would have bought 5 of them.

You can see it next to the brake master reservoir:

AMW Catch can and it works great. I pulled the J-Tube off the blower for the 90mm TB mod and foundn no oil in the J-Tube or Blower it works great.
Its mounted next to the Brake Master Cylinder.
