AOS Failure: what breaks first?

Yes, Porsche has a motorsports AOS that eliminates most of the design flaws of the Boxster production AOS. The part itself is $750 and you'll need some mods to make it work.

Porsche Motorsports AOS




Because of the high cost of the motorsports component and the cheap cost of the production unit ($75), most Boxster racers run the production component and simply change whenever needed (many racers do it at the track between sessions if they see a cloud of smoke).

Yeah..... I guess that all makes sense. Sure seems like there's a void in the aftermarket, if there isn't a better solution yet. Im'a look at adding in a reservoir, in-line, with some sort of overflow that dumps someplace other than INDUCTION.
Sounds nice.... but probably i'll do exactly as the rest of you do.... haha.

I wish the carrera’s AOS was as easy to replace as it is for the Boxsters..

In my Canadian province, emission tests consists of just plugging into the OBDII port, and looking at warnings and how many of the sensors are at their ready state. I highly doubt an oil catch can will caught. Besides, it could be designed to be easily removable. I think it’s good “insurance” , to at least reduce the amount of oil ingested and mitigate damage.

There is currently no backup in our AOS system, as it stands now. It would have to be checked regularly though, because if it’s ignored and there’s an issue, it won’t help if it’s basically full of oil already.

If I create a kickstarter campaign, would there be serious interest? I’m a mechanical engineer (for better or worse), and have access to CFD software, if it’s needed. If so, PM me, with your email address, and your car year and model. If I get enough interest I’ll put a kit together.

Alternatively, if you are going to seriously fit one, please say so, actually follow through, and follow up with photos and test results. I don’t want to do it if you are going to do it.
I’m sick of not having a solution for this.
