Catch Can instead of the AOS...anyone tried it yet?! - 986 Forum - The Community for Porsche Boxster & Cayman Owners

Some of my non-Porsche racing buddies use oil catch cans (some use two...one per side). Anyway this has me thinking, has anyone tried to modify the Boxster to use a oil catch can? They can be pretty small, fairly inexpensive...but on our cars the key is where to install it. I am thinking about in the rear trunk area (maybe just besides the area where the oil and coolant tops are located). Any thoughts?

Been there.. and I have a kit to do it.
I am testing it this weekend at a DE in two different cars.

I have gathered data that suggests the AOS does nothing to improve or impede performance, it was immeasurable on either of my dynos.

Thanks Jake! PLEASE share the feedback you get. I have to replace my ASO very soon, but would rather do it with something like a catch can that I can check and can easily empty.

Interesting....question is where to mount it? Did anyone ever get a decisive answer on whether the Motorsport AOS was do-able?

It most certainly is doable ... I have one.

The rear trunk is where this one is mounted.. Its a full track car..

If it works as well on the track as it has in testing I'll figure out a better place to mount it on a street car.
