Instead of getting ***** for $400, has anyone tried a catch can like this on their ecoboost 3.5L? Seems like a solid alternative for $50. If not, what's your reasoning? The principals of a catch can are ridiculously simple. Too simple for $400 imo.

Some catch can systems offer a third port on the can to receive vacuum from turbo inlet pipes when there is a loss of intake manifold ported vacuum.

Look at JLT for a great alternative.
Thanks guys. I checked out the JLT can. It looks good, but they don't show the inside of the can to see if there's any baffling. Also, I don't see where that one is any nicer than the $50 one I posted above. It's $139. Not trying to be super cheap, but not trying to throw $90 away either. Is there something nicer about it that I'm not seeing?
As far as the ones with a vacuum port, I've only seen that on the $400+ jobbies.

JLT does have media inside to return the oil to a liquid form and collect it (before it enters your engine). The advantage of the JLT over what you posted above is the JLT is plug-n-play...it has the correct connectors for a simple install.

Nice. That might be the way to go then. Thanks!

Anyone have pictures of these catch cans installed? And thoughts of catch can/ oil separators, are they not the same?

Lots of pics on-line including the sites that sell them. There's a ton of videos showing the installs of the $400 ones too. Most of the info/pics are for the F150, but near as I can tell they're pretty close to identical in most cases.
