    It keeps oil out of the intake from the PCV system. I have a $15USD one off ebay. All it needs to be is a tank with two hose inlets. One from the PCV and the other to the intake manifold. It's something you might want, don't have to have one but it never hurts.

    Here is the one I have. Nothing special or anything but it works! Here is a Greddy one, one with a breather, OBX, HKS, and a expensive generic one.

    You connect the tank to the PVC (positive crankcase valve) so all the oily fumes goes into it, the you can either plumb it back into the intake or have it just going out the breather. Breather is illegal due to EPA.

    Yeah i also have one, ive had it fitted for a month or 2 now and hammered my car a few times, and yeah its cought a fair bit of oil.
