Oil catch tanks - worthwhile?

Post by Doggy »

Came across this thread over in coupe land: http://www.406coupeclub.org/PHPBB3/view ... 78&t=44633
(If the pics look unfamilar, they're an internal view of a 'Nicopipe' conversion to remove the air dosers on a 2.2 HDi).

Wouldn't we all love to be rid of the oily mess at the bottom of the intercooler etc.?

I've also found this outfit: http://oilcatchtank.com/sdr-v-storm/

They're probably on my doorstep, so I'm very likely going to go see them. What, if any, interest do others have in this? Should we look at a group buy / member's discount?

Your thoughts, please.
2002 HDi 2.2 Exec Estate, (2008-12) (wonderful)
2003 HDi 2.2 6-speed Exec Estate (2012-19) (also a gem)
2009 Citroen C5 2.0 HDi VTR+ Estate (godawful heap)
2008 BMW E91 330i touring (great fun - murdered by a reversing SUV)
2007 BMW E91 325i touring (slower smoother quieter)
