Oil Catch Tank question

[gezmeister]

Not the usual

"which one do i get" or

"where do i plumb it in"

Which is better, a recirculating one, where it is plumbed back into the intake, or vent to atmosphere? I always thought that a recirc version would be better, but the guy who supplies the majority of my parts says that a vta version would be better, as the recirc dumps the crap back into the intake

I understand that vta are quite smelly, don't really want fumes coming into the cabin. Anyone got anything to add? I've yet to see a vta on anyone's car, just wanna get a general concensus on the matter

If the catch tank is working properly then there should be nothing to dump back in the ststem, i was told that without it plumbed into the tip it wont work properly.

Exactly what i thought. But he has a vta setup on his 320bhp Nissan Pulsar, and it works fine. Guess it's different for different cars
