Oil Separators???

http://www.ecoboostperformanceforum....ic,2142.0.html also found some info on catch can design that worth reading, it seems like most are designed poorly, read the first post for the write up.

if i had to venture a guess that would be due to that paticular engines high redline and the track use it would b e experiencing. street cars hardly ever see sustained 5k + rpm, and high g cornering that might cause higher than normal crankcase vapors

Kyle you should go into politics with that answer!
Well of course it's not mandatory, or it would be included with the Roushcharger kits. My question was whether the 5.OL Coyote engine actually has a problem of getting oil/oil mist back into the intake "with or without" a Roush Supercharger! Why do I ask? Because so many things sold today have "no real value" to the person who is scared into buying them. Being a returning Roush Customer having bought more than one Roushcharger, I was wondering if the Roush/Ford engineers or techs have opinions/facts on whether these oil separators are really an actual value since Ford doesn't to bother to put them on 5.0L engines in the Mustang GT? Some people think they are important & others have installed them & never seen any oil caught in the system. Can you get any information from Roush/Ford that really relates to the question? All I can get is theories based on no 1st hand evidence from Mustang enthusiasts.... & they don't agree!

Pull the throttle body and intake manifold off any vehicle made in the last 20 years that has some mileage and you know you'll see carbon and oil film, its there. I have not personally known anybody that had a failure of any type that would have been prevented by a catch can. Oil in the cylinder could lower your octane rating slightly, which is a big reason the people i know running them do so, however again I've never seen a failure due to not having one. If you ran pump gas and a custom tune that was on the ragged edge, I'd probably say get one. Our cals are very conservative and safe. If it was a different vehicle, like some of the new ecoboost cars with direct injection that coke the valves very quickly i'd say run one for sure but i wouldn't sweat it on your application. Again, if it makes you sleep better at night, put one on, but there haven't been failures due to the lack of a catch can here so its your choice.
