Oil Catch Tank Question ??
GReddy offers a 9mm & 15mm catch tank setup and I was curious as to which one I should be getting or if the size will matter

^..........Razz might give me a hard time, but....look at it this way.
If he ever does get any significant blow back for ANY reason...........where is it going to go now?

He won't get any blow back.

I used the tube to be safe. Connect the filter to the tube, then you can position the tube below the alternator.

I suppose it made too much sense to run a bose between the two fittings as intended?
