Default oil seperator

wondering whose running one, most of you sc guys should be. i plan on ordering a nice catch can and running it inline with the line to my blower inlet, thats where i get most of the oil. i want to mount it near the front of the passenger side strut tower, inbetween the fender and the aftercooler. you can make one for about 15$ from homedepot or autozone, but i want a bigger catch can. if you are running one, lets see some pictures.

And Steeda sells a kit for like $35 if you just want to order one.

just made mine yesterday- but used a Fuel filter with a removable canister to dump the collected oil. Looks really sharp imo.

A really late post to this subject but..I made mine using a Lowe's air/oil separator and two 90~ elbows for hoses. The incoming hose dips down to collect any oil that doesn't get sucked through.The outgoing kinda lifts up going back to the Holley. My question here is that the valve on the Lowe's unit sucks vacuum no matter which way it is turned. Bad valve or is that the way they work, since they aren't designed for vacuum?
I wanted to introduce a small vacuum leak due to a rich idle condition, whch the unit does, but shouldn't that valve close completely if turned to do so?
