You should be able to as the car will still have an oil breather system in there somewhere. Not sure how to do it as I have yet to investigate this for mine.

Default catch tank

hello matey, oil catch tanks stop crap getting circulated around the system, i have one on my 2.3 forged build, you plumb it in where the breathers from both crankcases meet, you need to check it weekly to ensure that it isnt full or your car will smoke as it burns the crap from the tank which is blown back in,mine did this and stopped when i emptied it, it is on the drivers side on mine, and mine is mounted behind the drivers side headlight, if you view my scooby you might see it, it;s blue, hope this helps

Oil catch tanks have their place, but Im not sure why youd fit one onto a Sport?

Connor have you seen whats genuinely involved?
Have a look on imprezasport.net it may well end up costing you more than a newer turbo to convert

I still wouldnt bother with a catch tank; unless the car breathes heavily or it has to pass scrutineering.
