i did the 20 dollar catch can i drove 38 hard miles and it was already in there i feel like crap cause i didnt d it sooner but then i really never get on y car

 

I know what you mean. I had 1100 miles on mine when I put the can on, and couldn't help but wonder how much oil had already got past. But, like you, I have seldom driven it hard so far. Waiting for another oil change and the "magic" 1500 mile mark...[sm=smiley4.gif]

 

Has it been proven that 1,500 miles is indeed the magic number?

 

I think the 1500 mile is a "proven" number... I am at 1750 or so on mine now... when the car hit around 1500 miles the turbo is now producing upwards or 13-15 psi of boost under WOT... and at less than WOT the boost is still coming in at 5 psi or so from time to time... maybe it's just me cause I was expecting a change at 1500 miles and now think it has changed... but... the car def. feels quicker and I am pretty sure it is getting more boost now... Before I was at around 10 psi at WOT and little to no boost any other time...

 

I got my info from Amanda...I think her "sources" are pretty reliable, they have been so far, anyway....[&:]

 

Maybe I'll see, I just past the 1,500 mile mark last night.[sm=smiley17.gif][sm=smiley2.gif]

I'll be getting those with the parts, so in actuality they will add power and performance.[sm=smiley20.gif][sm=smiley2.gif]
