catch can for supercharged car's
since I have installed my ECS supercharger system, which has been amazing, the only part of the system I have not been fond of was their catch can, any ways...I was wondering if other's out there who have S/C their vette's what brand/type of catch can you are you using?
as well as a mounting location..thanks!

jegs dual inlet breather can mounted to the driver side of the radiator cradle, -10an bungs welded to each valve cover and ran to the breather can, remove all pcv/vacuum lines and cap them off... now there is no chance of oil entering the intake and the motor will be able to breathe... the air compressor oil separator ecs supplies is junk and a joke for a serious boost application

I've had an SC on car just over a year. Been running this, http://www.revxtreme.com/rx-catch-can-dual-check-valve
I have an extra one I can sell you if interested. I ordered one but needed it quicker than 2 months and found one on the forum. Then canceled my order. Then 6 weeks later the new one came in. I just hung on to it and figured I'd sell it later (willing to sell now cheaper than new ones). Its black with hardware for mounting to A&A set-up. Works great and is mounted next to SC in space between engine, coolant resivour and SC. Got about 7K miles on SC now and catch can seems to work well.

We are the only supercharger manufacturer to include a catch can, yes there are some better brands out there, but ours works great, and it also works 1000 times better then what any of our competitors supply!
Momo, I'm glad to hear you are enjoying the boost!

I know and I love your guys kit that is why I went with it . it looks and sounds amazing and performs flawless.. My Damn catch can it leaks oil from the bottom screw and I can't get it to seal correctly from the bottom drain screw. So I figured I would just get a different style

elite makes a nice can, I like it... a guy I know has one and it's really well made and a big plus is that you can completely disassemble, clean, and replace the desiccant if you need to... it would be ok on a low boost motor but if you want to turn it up I would rather let the motor breathe... saikoumichi also makes a nice can with a better internal design in my opinion but it is sealed and can't be disassembled... looking at their website it appears you might be able to have a custom one made with the -an fitting size of your choice from 6-12, that would be a big plus on a boosted motor

are they still making these though?... I tried to order one of their monster catch cans before I vented mine to atmosphere and it was on order for a few months before I gave up and got a refund... luckily I paid through a vendor so it was easy to get my money back, I have read some bad stories about dealing direct with rx

I have an Elite Engineering can that I ended up mounting against the driver's side frame rail. I would have preferred to mount it closer to the passenger side so I could run shorter hoses, but there wasn't any room and this way it's away from the heat so the oil vapors can condense.
