I will not get into a debate about who's is better as I do not work for ECS I just have their kit on my car, and went in favor of their seperator over the can I previously had...
I am simply giving you another option  PM me if you have any questions.

A picture is worth a thousand words. Even a beer can catches oil....and virtually and container you put inline on the dirtyside, but with any centri blower or turbo application where the intake manifold is pressurized if you do not run a dual valve system, the crankcase is not evacuated under boost. Just pressure is vented out the breather.
Also, the "home depot/Lowes" $15 separtators for small air compressors cannot catch but 10-20% max of the oil (we teat all, and hundreds of posts with the results, pictures, and how to do the tests yourself so their is no debate, just facts).
Yes, motors will live a good while without properly evacuating and trapping all the oil, but not as long or as well as one done correctly.
SO, if have invested a good amount of $ in your car/truck, and then spent another $7-8k to modify it with a great FI system (which the ECS system is), then why skimp on something so inexpensive and take the risk? The dual valve system is the oNLY system on the market (short of a belt driven vacuum pump) that provides proper crankcase evacuation during both boost and non boost operation, and vents nothing to the engine compartment, and traps all, or nearly all the oil from ingestion via the intake tract and the detonation and carbon buildup this causes. Then you have the damaging combustion byproducts left to accumulate in the eninge oil and cause accelerated wear of the bearings, journals, and other internal components. Just do an oil analysis and see.
So in closing, trapping just 10-20% of the oil ingestion VS all, or nearly all.......how can this be a wise choice in protecting such a huge investment?
