emissions issues that are not a problem on earlier dbc b5's. If so, anyone know where to look for one? TIA

Default Any car with a catch can will fail just the visual inspection.

You can put one on your B6 the same way we put them on the B5.

Default Because the way it is setup now is so the oil vapor is

burned off instead of released to the atmosphere with a catch can with a filter. Now if you put in a catch can that just traps the oil but feeds back into the intake track before the turbo like it does stock, then you should be ok. But that just stops some of the oil vapor not all of it and does not help with added vacuum issue a larger turbo will cause.
