Oil Catch Can Fix*

It happend like a week after I bought the kit. which was about a month ago. Driving in the rain one morning on the freeway came threw hood scoop and went right into air filter and shut the cat down. Not a very thought out product if you ask me. Very disappointed in the product and customer services. Was a good idea but the water coming in is an issue. I just don't like when they tell me that they have never had a problem with it in the rain before.

Did you oil the filter prior to installation? I've driven in some pretty heavy downpours at 80 mph and never had an issue. Cutting a narrow slot across the hood ducting would completely alleviate the problem, and would evacuate a negligible amount of air.

Be careful with over oiling your filter, you can kill the MAF pretty quickly by doing that.

I never oil my filters. Never had good luck with it because of the maf sensor. And it's hard to avoid water coming into that filter when it's right on top of the motor where the top mount was.

I've head of that problem but the design of the air filter housing with this kit does a pretty good job of preventing it. The oil hits and gets stuck to the bottom plate of the airbox. Anything that runs off the bottom plate towards the MAF will just run along the outside or the radius in front of the MAF and get harmlessly eaten by the turbo.

I just got a cobb turbo inlet for my 08 speed 3 and when i took off my cobb intake to install the turbo inlet i noticed a little bit of oil splashed inside one of the pipes so I want to get an oil catch can before any major problems arise. Do you guys know if corksport still has issues with their catch can or has it all been resolved?
