read my last post. I made a DIY one as that write up says and only after 20 miles ( of hard running) theres oil starting to collect in the filter. So I feel it was very worth it and it only cost me $25 total.

You're getting oil in the seperator on an N/A car?

Yep, Its a common problem on the modular motor F/I or N/a. My 100,000 motor did it and my 3,000 mile motor does it as well. I know the new motor is nice and tight so its not blow by.

I installed the steeda oil seperator on my 2004 gt 2 years ago and to this date I still have not seen or accumulated one drop of oil in that little glass jar and my car has 41,000 miles on it. I thought maybe I installed it wrong so I went back and re-proofed everything and it's in there correctly.

I didn't need a separator till I put a blower on.

Btw, the "heater hose" leading into it was replaced with a "non-sweat" hose. I'll have to take a picture of that.
