I know someone that did that but he had a catch can for n/a application.. but i am using this catch can for filtering oil from getting into the turbo intake. This would stop the bpv and the whole IC line from having oil in them right?

Plastic ones would be better....
Mance (URS4) had recommended some good ones, but the link is bookmarked at work. I'll post it later.
I was also thinking about making a separator as well, but I'm still researching the best way to do it. I could have some nice ones machined out of aluminum, but it would cost around $120 or so to do it, and I'd have to order at least 4 or 5 of them.

Orange and yellow plastic "scrubbies" pot cleaners available at any supermarket
steel wool will rust as there's mucho humidity content in blowby gases.
Just cut the tag off and poke it into the catch can. Larger catch cans may require 2 or more. You basically want to fill the catch can albeit very loosely (not packed tight).

Did you see the follow-up post I made to our original thread in the 12V forum?
For the lid to the catch-can, you can really cut down the cost by using the laser cut machine and putting multiple parts on the same page. Each subsequent part on the same page adds almost no cost (up to a limit).<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/12v/msgs/19090.phtml">Not sure if you saw this. Also check out the one right above it.</a></li></ul>

Yep, I just saw it.
Played around with it a little, it saves a couple bucks per part.
Laser cut, 1 set of 6 bottoms would be $95.
2 sets of 3 bottoms would be $90
Orientation also plays a part in the pricing.
I also found that in some cases, it was cheaper to order 10 parts than it was to order 20.
The only draw back I can see in Laser vs. CNC on the bottoms, would be the surface finish, it might be worth the extra $3 or so to have 32 microinch finish vs. 123 microinch

Like you mentioned over in the other thread...
the biggest factor seems to be the updated pricing file. It seems like it gets updated every couple of days. I'm not sure what it's based on...it could be the cost of raw materials, machine availability, or an increase in popularity of the service.
