Wanted to post this update. After running this setup for several months
Drained It the other day, and I got no noticeable oil drainage. Either it's not catchin or my PCV works perfectly. But I would still expect at least a little oil.
It's not working right. Even if your PCV is perfect, it will still suck in oil.

Is these things worth it? I got the plenum and all fixed and I don't really want oil in my intake again.
I think so. Mine pulls in a lot. The only thing you have to make sure of is properly sealing the bottom drain with epoxy. Mine leaks. lol
How much did you spend compared to 20 bucks though with all that fancy hose and all?
Separator was $20+ tax at Lowes, about $3 for fittings, used some clamps I had laying around, $10 for 4 feet of hose and $1 for a 3 pack of copper scrubbers. I didn't even use one whole scrubber....I cut it in half. lol
For the mount I used a 2.5 in EMT conduit clamp, that was like $4 for 2 clamps. And I don't remember how much the screws were. They were stainless steel self-drilling. Either way, what I spent, about 40 bucks is still cheaper than $75+ shipping on a real catch can. Besides, it is a good trial of whether or not I needed/wanted one. If this one breaks I might buy a real one.
With a new (Airtex) PCV valve, I get ~2oz per month in my Moroso catch-can... but I'm suspect that the PCV isn't working as it should.
I'll get an OEM when I get a chance, and see if there's a difference.
