Craig, I had to stop you at 2:28. As a potential customer, I do not have an unlimited budget, or the facilities (which include a lift of course). I do not believe that fancy airbox will give that much gain on it's own. I'm not about to rip the entire front end of the car to buy an OEM placement IC. The hp/tq curves for stage 2 are very peaky. I don't think that exhaust flows as much as it could; branching out into dual 90 degree bends. I don't know what the purity thing is all about. I'd much rather see how a petrol head like myself can make an efficient machine, capable of actually performing in AutoX or Trackdays without the hype, silliness and over-expense, please. Thanks for trying. BTW, I'm a retired Mechanical Designer and former ASE Technician

Depends on the catch can, the ones that delete the pcv with a metal plate are trash and will send as much oil and pressure as possible through your intake and blow out seals, the kits that piggyback off the oem pcv (clean catch can) are the ones that wont hurt your engine. But make sure the can itself has real baffling and not just 1 plate with a couple small holes, but the gains you get from a catch can are pretty negligible and not worth your money.

@ecstuning

i mean... you can not run a catch can, but you will sacrifice a percentage of the total possible clean air you can deliver to your engine since the PCV system will send unfiltered crankcase pressure through the intake, which includes oil and carbon particulate. that's what gets built up on intake valves in DIT engines since there is no fuel spraying across the valve to clean it. Basically, yes, you can get away with no catch can, but you'll end up paying for it in the long run with carbon cleaning.
