Can't really say as it was already cut open before I gave it some new life.
Nothing really noticeable, I think it's just a good mod if your going to run more boost.

catch can vac ??????

Post by tri26t »

I have done this to all five of our Starions
and there is one "MUST DO" b4 you are
finished, and that is move the catch can
vacum line beside the rocker cover vent
JUST IN FRONT OF THE TURBO
No not the P V R vent the rocker cover vent
WHY
Because there is now no vacuum to the catch can
after cutting the hole in the box.

Cheers:Phil.
