RXeightr-- yep I think it sure could add to that problem. Besides heck its a $20 mod-and it sure will not hurt anything. The fact that the 2006's have a differant vent system also helped convince me.
Could have bought one but heck I like making stuff when I can. Besides since I made my own I have some other features in it than "just a can". Steel wool at the bottom to help catch the oil, separtator plate in the can, AND the fitting that catches the stuff from the engines oil tube is a 90 degrees bend directing the "stuff" to the bottom of the can and the steel wool. I am going to inprint"REDMAN TOBACCO "design on it--or maybe "mountain DEW"
I had blow back into my intake and mushy dipstick stuff.

ok... so i just checked and found a horrific amount of oil/water/crap in my intake accordian tube
does anyone know if the cheap e-bay cans that look like the greddy cans actually have the same baffling/screens inside to get the oil to condense out of the air, or do those things only look alike from the outside???

Thanks! I used 5/16 tubing myself. It fits snug, but is a pain to get onti the bung on the intake tract.
Mine is mouned to the big black bracket that holds the air pump. If you look in that area you'll see. I'll go snap a picture though, brb...
<grabs camera and runs outside>
ok, I'm back, here is the mount. I lost the other bolt, so I only drilled and installed the one. I'm going to go buy another bolt today and finish it, but even with just the one bolt it's not going anywhere.

The one I got off ebay has a magnetic drain plug on the bottom.
Also, I've had mine for many months now and the sludge problem has since been fixed. And it also has an extra tube on the side of mine to show the oil "level" in case it's getting full, still nothing to show. It's mainly for removing condensation in my setup, I never had actual oil pooling in my intake like some of you have been saying.
