Oil catch can installed
Found oil in my charge pipes so I decided to install a catch can. Hopefully this will help reduce burnt oil on my intake valves.

Most catch cans are not very baffled internally and no manufacturer makes one for the GTS so I sourced a local guy to assemble this kit for me. This was a custom kit with quick release hose fittings and and quick release knob to remove the can to empty it quickly.

This kit was about two times the price of typical kits for other cars. The reason is because our engine uses 2 separate oil separators which requires a total of 6 hoses, 4 AN fittings, 2 AN tee fittings, 2 quick disconnect hose fittings into the can, custom quick release knob, custom brackets.
If you're interested I'll send you more info.
Below is a picture of the hoses and the AN fittings.

Are these cars suffering from contamination of the intake valves due to DI? I haven't heard either way, just trying to get some additional info.
If you haven't heard of valve issues, can you tell me the reason for installing the kit?
TIA,

I was in the process of installing water methanol injection when I noticed a good amount of oil on my air intake tubes right at the pcv breather tubes inlets. The only way oil is there is because the factory oil separators are not 100% efficient which means the motor is inhaling oil.
I figure I address and minimize the issue now then worry about removing cylinder heads or walnut blasting which is a major operation.
Here are two good articles:
