This kit is designed to be the best AOS on the market. It is a triple pass system with carefully designed diameters and cross sections to effectively remove a range of oil droplet sizes. This AOS installs directly above the main crank case vent between the intake manifold and the TMIC. Installing here allows a clean look and the shortest possible hose routing. Since this is a true AOS the oil drains back into the block and never needs to be emptied. Small ridges on the faces of the spiral baffles collect the oil and allows the oil to stay out of the laminar airflow and effectively drain down to base of the system. The internals can be cleaned periodically by disassembling the unit with the tool-free thumb screw on top.

Compatibility:

Drive by Wire:
2004 - 2021 STi
2006 - 2007 WRX (2008 - 2014 WRX can work if updated to the STi intake manifold)
2004 - 2008 Forester XT

Drive by Cable:
2002 - 2004 WRX

Works with a lot of of other vehicles with EJ20/25 engine swaps that utilize the OEM STi or WRX aluminum intake manifolds.

time will tell

Overall I like the design, but it's a tight fit. It's easy to take apart for service, and although it does feel a bit flimsy, it held up fine during the install. And since it's right over the motor, it doesn't need coolant lines

I wish fitment was a bit more flexible as far as where the hoses come out of the bottom so you can run the hose for the driver side vent along the firewall.

Also, takes a decent amount of maneuvering to get it right, and I had to try to shape the large hose for the crank case into an S bend to make sure it the angle of the canister would still allow drainage.

Lastly where it sits means you'll loose the boost control cover on the 08+ STI and the one going to the rear inlet is a bit odd, if you replace the turbo inlet, you can make the run a bit shorter and cleaner.

But over all it's a simpler install, less to connect and hopefully it'll last a long time
