I know right it just would make sense... Thats a lot of OCCs though, what did they tell you when you did your recall I took mine in but it was not throwing the codes needed so need to wait till it gets worse and take it back

Not true - some manufacturers are actually smart enough to position the injector near the valve and time the spray with valve open - thus the fuel still hits and cleans the valve

Yea Danny this one seems real nice for a few dollars more than other stuff is out there. Plus the one I got for $15.99 ****** is leaking on me from the top! I tested it with water. Opened ebay case.

So bought this ebay one that actually comes with filter and WOW!!! For the price its very impressive very compareable to a Mishimoto, one here are some pics of my set up... And since you can take the can apart I drilled an extra hole and used a rounded bracket to bolt in and then bolted that bracket to another one I mounted on the ECU housing and it looks great.... One other thing because of where I mounted my OCC I had to modify the eng cover to run the lines through as you can see in the pics but this can is well worth the $20 IMO im very surprised its only $20 from the craftmanship and how well its put together with the filter in the middle of the can it should be priced around $100
