Title: Who has fitted a Catch Can? Any good?
Post by: berg on June 15, 2011, 06:15:49 pm

Seen a few threads mentioning the above - are they necessary if you want to protect your engine long term? Or a bit of a gimmick?

If so do Forge do a superior one to BSH?

Are they a pain to fit on EU cars the BSH one that is?

Would be interested to hear the views of people who have them fitted.

Thanks

ive got a forge as does RR......more money than BSH but you do get bigger bang for the buck .....IMO its all about preference but i cant see any real gains over a forge to a decent BSH

I have the BSH one fitted and judging by the amount of gunk and carp it collects, Id say they are worth it.  I empty mine every 2 weeks and its only a 1 minute job to empty.

Cheers chaps,

Are they easy to fit then and are you best buying one direct from Forge?
