Got my Diablo Sport Catch Can Installed today. Fairly simple, just like the WK1. I used the kit I ordered for my WK1 and it works out great.

Tools needed:
3/8 Ratchet
13mm socket
Something to cut hose with

Parts:
M8-1.25 x 25 mm hex head bolt
About 2' of 1/2" inside diameter hose
1/2"-1/2" barb connector (found at Lowes in plumbing aisle)

Steps:
Make it look like this

UPDATE: Using the 1/2"-1/2" barb connector splice the short piece of hose into the factory 90 elbow

I'll let you know in a few hundred miles when I open the can up and see what it caught

Damn Zac looks nice. Hats off to you for doing that today with the wind chill below zero. I'm thinking BT should send you some free braided hoses to match the others for test fitting & getting their CC to work on the WK2.

Did you at least hit up that car wash to try & block some wind? I would have.

I'll be opening the catch can soon to take a peak inside. Got about 1800 miles on it since I installed the catch can around 50 miles. I'll get pics and post later tonight.

I bet BT had that figured out a few months ago..

If you add a 1/2-1/2 connector to the factory 90* rubber peice on the front part of the motor
it makes it a little cleaner set up..

That how we have it set up..

I was running around town looking for a 1/2"-1/2" splice connector, I couldn't find a straight one. Just 90 elbows. So I did the tube for now. I wanted the catch can on sooner than later

that's a easy fix down the road.

Here are the results. Catch can installed around 50 miles on the odometer, got 18xx as of now when I opened it up. I changed the oil at 300 miles to get the break in oil out and added new (running Mobil 1 0W-40). After that I took at 1450 miles trip. Here is what I have.

Dumped into a bottle to see amount easier.

Not a whole bunch but still enough to have the need for one. Wonder if city driving would produce a larger amount.

Exactly, it shows that it is needed! So this is indeed a good mod for the 6.4
