you mind posting pics of your SET UP?

Here's some pics. Sorry it took so long. Have been chasing some other problems on my truck. Finally got a chance to get some. My latest oil consumption has been quite good compared to how it was. There is a caveat however. Since my last oil change I've been doing about 95% around town driving with a little freeway. This normally results in lower oil usage on its own. Because of that I don't consider this a total validation of this mod. It is a very good sign though.

I'm about 500 miles from my 5000 mile oil change being due and I have only used 1 liter of oil. I've never had oil usage that low. Having the catch can allows me to recover oil that normally would have been burned, even with the PCV mod. Since the original mod doesn't call for a catch can I don't see how it really cuts down on oil consumption. I can say without a doubt putting a catch can in the system does.
