A catch can needs to be plumbed inline between intake plenum & AOS.

Something like this then.

BRUSHED ALUMINIUM OIL CATCH CAN BREATHER TANK RESERVOIR WITH 19mm 3/4" OD BARB | eBay

Should be enough room near the side intake fan to install

Or something like this

OK, here's where everyone tells me I'm killing my engine. I've run this for 3-4 years now and 25,000+ miles. So far so good. I think I did it as much to try an alternative solution as I did for a cheap easy fix. But it's just a race car, so what the hey. I would not do this to my everyday driver.

Can you elaborate on how you've plumbed this in? I am looking to delete the AOS on my 986 racer (which is getting ITBs, so no real good source to hook up the AOS vaccuum line).

My "piggyback" AOS is plumbed in between the facatory AOS and the intake. I removed the plastic tube, threaded the AOS and the intake "T", adding brass hose fittings. I then mounted the piggyback AOS in the trunk and ran fuel line to connect it to both brass hose fittings.

Resurrecting this post from a fellow 986 track driver, who gets the occasional blue puff of death.

Add $1000, the motor sports AOS solution seems to be overkill. Looking for a more pragmatic solution. Is your truck solution still working well? How often do you have to drain the oil from the bowl?

Much appreciated!!
