Basically relieves pressure from the crankcase during exhaust stroke. More of a preventive measure and normally used on high powered cars. For stock/mild tunes it won’t do much. If you’re going upgraded turbos and huge gains then yea it may be worth it.

you will also likely eventually end up with a light coating of oil everywhere in your engine bay, so i personally would not be doing this unless it is really needed for the level of modification you're at.

As chris3g said, it’s an oil spreader for mist in your engine bay. Another poster had an engine problem and his VTT cap puked oil everywhere.

There’s a reason we already have a PCV system. No need to reengineer. If you need to add an OCC for catching vapor/spray then take that route instead.

Dude thanks so much. I just wanted to make the car more efficient but seems like I don't really need it.
What a mistake I would have made.
