Below is a picture from that thread.

[I believe that..] When the AOS separates the oil from the air, the oil goes into the big chamber at the bottom and then drains back into the engine. When the oil comes in too fast and completely fills this chamber, that is when I believe that the oil gets sucked into the intake. If this chamber was bigger (like on the "motorsports" AOS) you would be able to have more time before it filled. If it mostly overfills during high G corners, then having this extra capacity may be enough to keep from blowing a smoke bomb, similar to how the bigger Motorsports AOS does. This is my theory on enlarging the chamber with a 3D printed bump-out. Or two tubes that lead to an external reservoir that is at the same level as the AOS so it could gravity feed down and back into the AOS.

Ben006 with the 3D printer, any interest in another possible project?

Is there even room to fit a bumpout onto the side of the AOS? (My car is in Orlando getting some suspension work so I can't look)
