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.
