Here's a thread on making one instead of spending $100+ for an aftermarket.

lol...love some of the comments here about the known high vacuum VQ not needing one
For those ppl, take your plenum off and report back here as to what you see in there. The catch can will prevent a lot of that from getting in there.
It's not a gimmick.

No it doesn't hurt engine and with the clear bowl as the catch can, you can see how much it's collecting and empty as needed.
