Buy a catch can. Its the best $150 you can spend for a DI motor if you plan on keeping this car a while. Probably a good idea to Seafoam or walnut blast your valves to clean the buildup that has already accumulated as well. Start with as close to a clean slate as possible.

I have 24k on mine and Im planning on running the shit out of it to 200k plus.

These are good motors that will last if taken care of properly.

Checked Advanced Auto Parts & some others but they don't have a catch can.

Just ordered some Amazon ones for $50 price for now so I can get one asap.. looked everywhere to get them same day and nobody had it. It'll do for now.

Going to seafoam my calves today when I get someone to help me.

What did you order for 50 bucks? I don't think the calves are going to like being seafoamed to be really honest but good luck with that .

Whys that? Was told it'd be good to get rid of the carbon that's probably built up in there, could help with performance

Bumping this to ask about the Gorilla Lug Nuts (anti-theft) are they all the same keys if I bought for the 4 wheels (4 lugs every set) ?

I was wondering the same thing a while back and called Gorilla. 20 packs of Locking Lug nuts are available using the same key but I'd suggest contacting them to get the correct part number and then you might be able to order off of Amazon or Summit Racing or some other distributor. If you buy 4 5-packs, you're probably going to get 4 different keys.

Check the spelling next time . It's Valves . You typed calves. Simple mistake that I was trying to have fun with.

Thank you, I'll call up Gorilla but don't have their number (ill just message through Amazon as that's where I was gonna buy them anyways!

If that was my car, I would definitely put a catch can on, then I would focus on brakes, suspension and wheels and tires.

Bought a catch can, purchased brembo calipers and pads, going for rotors than going to get the dustshield trimmed once I find the right rotors. About to buy RS 2016 wheels with the rims.
