Default PCV catch can - worth it?

Something like a greddy can work?
<a href="https://secure1.nexternal.com/shared/StoreFront/product_detail.asp?CS=greddy&RowID=1&All=True"><im g src="https://secure1.nexternal.com/greddy/images/oil%20catch%20tank.jpg">
Greddy oil catch can</a>

Opinions?

Even worth it? Or should I just let it blow back into my intake and burn off?

Default Good luck fitting that...

I bought one but there really isn't room for it in the S4 engine bay. I sold it to an A4 guy.

Default There are some similarly built ones on ebay that are much shorter. When it

gets here I'll post some pics for you guys.

Default Cool, keep us posted! :)

Yeah, I was worried about the size.. My buddy installed one in his STi, but they have a bunch more room than we do in the engine bay ;-)

My question still stands -- is it worth it?

Default I really think its worth it. Especially considering the amount of oil

we see in that pcv valve.

Default Pretty good actually considering I abuse these K03s pretty badly. Just waiting on some parts

for my 2.8 heads and I should be ready to roll soon on some big turbos.

I'm gonna sell the rs6 turbos and go big.

Is yours all sorted now?
