I use BMS catch cans. It makes a big difference on some cars and on others it does not make any difference. Either way its worth the investment in my opinion

Now that I'm off warranty I'm thinking to add one for this season. I've seen many reports that leave me optimistic that the n20 isn't as bad for fouling valves as some engines, but it can't hurt. Per my shop, they are most useful if you spend a lot of time at higher rpm.

I have a Mishimoto catch can. They have a bolt on package for the N20, you can install it in minutes yourself.

I only wish it had a indicator to see how full it is without having to take it out, but due to space restrictions I don't think there was any room for one.
