You do realise you changing the diameter of the OEM piping just to fit it to the catch can is causing excessive crankcase pressure. The crank case ventilation system needs the vaccum caused by the turbo at the pre-turbo inlet to suck positive crank case pressure out of the engine. Excessive crank case pressure over time will cause more wear to your bottom end, cause your oil to sludge with unburnt fuel and could blow out your crank seals and cause oil leaks. It can also make it difficult for your engine to start because of the extra pressure behind the cylinders. Venting it to atmosphere also causes this because there is no vaccum sucking out the pressure I suggest getting a catch can with the same diameter inlet as your rocker cover outlet silcone hose so there is no restriction. Im a level 4 heavy diesel engineer by trade and also own a gen 2 pajero so im just trying to help out but i love your side mount intercooler!.

MUCH respect. Thanks for this. The plastic adapter piece that connects the manifold tube into the fat, rubber intake/turbo tube is smaller in inside diameter than the cheapy plastic hoses included in this kit. The biggest mistake was packing the small top canister with steel wool. This DID block pressure relief and DID cause oil leaks from the oil pan. However, in NO VIDEO have I heard discussion of 'needed' suction from the turbo to pull these gasses out of the engine. Right now, I am simply venting to atmosphere, as I cleaned my entire intake system and don't want it oil-coated anew.

The black baffle is two parts. You can unscrew it to open it up and then fill it with the steel wool and screw it back together. That is what I did with mine.

It helps to get inputs on the pros and cons and I decided the benefits outweigh the risks. I made sure to find an OCC with bigger input/output diameter tubes (about 19mm) to avoid flow restriction. One cool tip I found is to use the nylon stuff girls use to shower instead of Scotch Brite stainless scourer as oil traps to avoid the risk in the off chance that metal bits may break and find its way into the engine.
