Here's some information on our subaru catch tanks, the one in the image is the New Age tank but we do another for other models:

Saying that, the information sheet can be for any designed catch tanks if you decide against ours!

do you have a fitting guide for the 3 port?? this would help with the sale of the cans no end as most of the guides that are available are for 2 port.
the guide in the link doesnt help much and is very vague.

Im also looking for a 3 port can but would need clear detailed instructions . OBP, this would sway me to purchase your baffled 3 port catch can if it came with plumbing instructions.

I am also interested in placement options as there doesn't seem to be many places under my bonnet. I still have the TMIC and secondary air pump fitted.

there is only one place to fit it regardless of intercooler which is on the passenger side near the suspension strut.(see obp other thread for pics of it placed there in my and a few others car)

the plumbing is where the confusion starts as most guides are for 2 port versions.

the can is excellent but a guide with pics is what is needed to help sell the product, im sure this could be arranged easily though.

That is the ideal place i agree. Trouble is i still have the secondary air pump in place. On my last mapping session i took the pre-emptive action to have the fault codes deleted. The next step is to work out how to delete the pump with engine fitted in the car i suppose.

The New Age ones are 15mm outlets and 22mm breather where as the other tanks are 10mm outlets and breather.

I'm going to try my hardest to get some fitting instructions, just got to source a Subaru to fit one too!

Hi mate, I in Peter-bog-horror and would like to get a catch can sorted. Perhaps we can arrange for my car, a can and a camera to be in the same place sometime? Preferably a Saturday?

Thanks for the reply As said, Tommy has PM'd me a while ago and we're now in the process of sorting it so we should have some fitting instructions in the next few weeks thanks to Tommy!

Thank you for suggesting that though, very kind of you!

P.S I like your name for Peterborough, it works well!

I'm running twin cans. One for my rocker breathers and another for my crank case.

Where are you located, pop round and I'll talk you through how to fit it, or bring the bits over and I'll help you do it. It's simple but easier to show rather than type if you know what I mean.

2 or 3 port is fine, both do the same but a 2 port will just require you to 'T' the two rockers together.

Newages have the same breathers as classic.
One off each rocker cover and one at the back from crank case.
