If anyone looking for a hell of a deal on a new unused G4 kit check out my for sale. Wanted to use it but circumstances made me go a different route,

Slowly piecing together supporting parts till one day I can place the order on an ESS kit.
Just want to make sure that this is the catch can to get. Thanks.

For a closed can system that is the correct one!

Recommended yes… is it a must? No.

What's better, closed or open?

Thank you. I saw in previous threads how certain catch cans or set ups can affect fuel trims. I'm hoping just bolt on everything, make 650whp and just have fun with it and not have drivability issues.

Don’t exactly think one is better than the other, it really comes down to different scenarios of use. I ran a closed system for 8 months with no issues. When I decided I wanted to run a turbo guard instead of a full intake I could no longer use the closed system. At that point you either can run the vent to atmosphere can or just filters on the PCV. Both with give you racecar smells in the cabin and just running filters could cause a mess with no can to catch fluids. All in all if you are gonna stay with the ESS intake then the closed system will do the job just fine.

@WhiskeyTangoFoxtrot_Ricky and @RubyRed5PtOh I also run a one way breather that goes on the oil fill. It helps release even more crankcase pressure for boosted applications like ours.

For only $69, add that to my list.

Sweet. Thank you for the insight. I will probably go with the closed system then.

What breathers do you recommend for the most racecar smells? I wanna smell and hear more than i feel when i drive <3 that description btw

edit: what would happen if i plumbed both PCVs directly into the sound tube that is now half-deleted in there??

Hey man, your setup is basically what I've been inputting on the ESS option list. I'm debating 125mm or 120mm pulley. I'm thinking 125 mm pulley to be on the safe side even though 120mm is ok for gen 3 because of direct injection. Just looking for whp in the mid 600 range and just drive the thing. What I'm on the fence is, should I or should I not get FFE headers. Will the stock cats be ok at 600whp levels.? I've read clearance problems with aftermarket header and they can cause false knock.
