UPR Clean Side Catch Can Install Help

[nunu1919]

Get some worm gear clamps or else when you get in boost it's probably gonna blow the hose apart at the check valve.

Can I find those at local auto or hardware stores? Should I just keep the UPR catch valve on for now until I get some?

Also I noticed there is a catch valve on the clean side tube and the tube from the turbo inlet. Should I change both or just the clean side tubing?

I ended up just loosening the manifold to get that damn tube off. A few questions for you guys:

1. Did any of ya'll have a problem with the bolt for the OEM ground stripping out when tightening it back down with the catch can in place? I didn't even get it all the way down and tight before it started stripping out. I removed the catch can and the ground and tried to tighten it with same result. Do you think I should go get a longer bolt?

2. Did any of ya'll replace the upr catch valve with the boomba 1/2" catch valve? I noticed the upr catch valve fit tight in those hoses, yet the boomba catch valve seems fairly loose. Still stays in place, but fairly easy to pull the hoses off.

I had the same problem with the ground bolt stripping, but I was able to relocate the ground strap and then the bolt tightened with just the can in that location. I started a thread for the same issue here: http://mustang6g.com/forums/showthread.php?t=48691

Finally got it. I don't know why, but this was the hardest thing I've installed in my car by far.

Thanks Jstang for the link to the page. Rerouting the ground worked for me.

I'll advise anyone with an MMR CAI it is going to be a bitch when trying to swap out the turbo inlet tube lol

Does anyone know how to empty the clean side catch can without removing the radiator plastic cover? Its such a tight space, and its not like the dirty side dual valve where you can just place a cup over and leak the oil out. This one needs to be screwed off entirely.

better yet does anybody have theirs mounted in a different location that makes it much easier to install, empty etc.?

I managed to empty mine yesterday without taking off the radiator cover (sort of, there was really nothing to empty). I detached the hoses from the can first, which was a little difficult but only took a minute. Then just unscrew that upward facing knob that holds the can in place. Be careful, there was a little flat washer in there that I almost dropped. Once you take that knob off you can lift the can right out. Only took me like 3 minutes total to take it out and 2 minutes to put it back in. Hardest part was removing the hoses from the can.

Yeah thats what I am gonna have to do. I was hoping to find a way to just screw it off with everything attached.
