Steeda's Latest News

Someone also suggested using an air compressor oil separator--this is probably what the above link is.

I like the idea, esp on my turbo, as it will prevent oil getting sucked into my expensive turbo hoses.

Hi Norm,

I went to the Steeda website and looked at the oil separator. It is an industrial unit that has been plumbed for 5/8" hoses. I would think that it would separate the oil from the air in the crankcase to turbo line, but what about the oil from the turbo bearings? On the best turbos there is still some oil that gets past the seals when high blowby raises the crankcase pressure. Anyway, for the 59.95 I think that I would shop W.W. Grainger and take my wife out for pizza with the 30.00+ left over!

Regards,

Hi Norm,

http://www.exair.com/accessories/accessories_main.htm

These are types of industrial air filters and would certainly do the job. There are several suppliers.
