i think the verdict nowadays is that any benefit of a catch can on a road car will be minimal. would probably be worth spending your money on something else.

There would be installation placement issues if your friend has an Euro spec car with the charcoal canister at the front right of the engine. That catch can set up is made for US cars that don't come with the charcoal canister.
