Drivetrain BSH catch can and dual boost port install
#126
I have 2 questions questions for BSH. Why is your logo upside down on the boost tap and the plastic part that goes into the turbo inlet hose? And why don't you guys silkscreen a logo on the side or top of the can?
And lastly how are you guys that have installed the catch can planning on emptying it when its time do so? Take the whole thing apart and empty it from the drain hole?

7K OCC Checkup!!
Did an oil change today and decided to check my 42 DD/BSH boost tap system while everything was out of the way. With 7K since install, there was about 3 tbs of really nasty phlegm in the tank and no water (evaporates at operating temps). The inlet tube to the OCC was dirty and slimy, the outlet tube was clean and dry!! With that, I checked the turbo boost tube and it was clean and dry, too! The damn thing works. I put my system together myself as BSH's complete system wasn't available at the time. Like BSH's, 42 DD's can is baffled. That and the BSH blocked boost tap are the key to the PCV oil fouling problem IMHO.
PS: Before the mod, the oiling problem was so bad I had to hard wire the OEM turbo inlet and boost tubes just to keep them on!

You can use a SYRUP PUMP like this one http://www.javaestate.com/images/pro...0oz%20Pump.JPG

I was thinking of a basting bulb with a straw attached somehow.

Me too. She on the other hand was irritated about it until I made her realize that she's the one that would have to go through the trouble of sending it back if it was damaged. She saw things differently after that.

So with some help from one of my car club friends, I was able to install the BSH OCC (even though I have the factory alarm which takes the mounting spot for the OCC)by drilling into the bulkhead where the DOS intake would normally go. Luckily, I did not have to completely remove the bulkhead because I just loosened the screws to get my hand behind there. Besides the mounting problem it was a pretty clean install. I would suggest that anyone that uses an OCC to buy some hoses clamps for peace of mind and to prevent boost leak.

I put it on all the blocking plugs, but not on the locking clamp screw. WARNING: Use a half drop at most on each plug. A tooth pic makes a good applicator. Too much blue Loctite and you will lock them tight permanently! Found that one out the hard way long ago.

The inside of the Direct Dual Boost Tap is threaded so when used in conjuction with the OCC, BSH supplies a plug that gets inserted inside the Tap blocking that PCV hose. Once installed, you are only utilizing one PCV hose, the one that is being filtered by the OCC. If you didn't plug that hose, you would either be filtering only one of two PCV hoses or you would need two OCCs.

On the cross bar you can see the silver bolt that came in the kit. All I did was slide the washer into the center of the frame and put the bolt down put the catch can onto the bolt and then attached. Having the cold air intake (I think Custom Mini Shop has one left) allowed me to remove the factory little tube that is the intake since I now have a large air intake thus allowing the catch can to be located there. I would be happy to take a photo of it from a different angle however I'm currently in Okinawa Japan and will not be back in the States until Mid July. Steve at Custom Mini Shop did the installs and has both of the major pieces i.e. intake and catch can along with the dual port boost plug and his contact information is in my signature line.

That's odd. How long was the m7 tube on before you put on the OCC? My inlet tube and charge pipe were a real mess at 20K before install of the OCC about 7K ago. The oil you found might be "leftovers". Just changed the Alta inlet tube for the JCW and could just feel an oil film. However, my can is the 42 Draft Design and it's baffling is very different than the BSH's. Puzzle time!

This oil is new. I'll check the NM pipe after a couple hundred miles to be sure though.
