The stock crank case ventilation system works just fine.
Throw this aftermarket crap in the trash where it belongs.
I don’t know enough to have a valid opinion on this and no offense to you or anyone else here, but I kinda want one after seeing this video.

I am by no means placing all my trust in one YouTuber but I am hoping others with it installed can say it actually catches something that may have otherwise ended up somewhere I wouldn’t want?

Flaberdoopin does great videos and is knowledgeable. I have the same OCC as him (single valve UPR). I think it's worthwhile and easy to empty as part of your typical OCI.

I'm on the fence about these as well. Watched "many" videos on the pros and cons on these. One guy checked his valves before putting a catch can on and there was a viscous, liquid, sludge on the back of his valves. He cleaned them and then ran a catch can, and then took the intake back off, and there was a dry powdery substance on the back his valves. That makes sense seeing how the catch cans are taking out moisture. If that is true, I am leaning towards not getting one. I would rather have a viscous substance going in my cylinders and burning than a dry powdery substance going in my cylinders and maybe not burning.

AlpineBike is about as dense as they come and doesn’t have a clue on purpose. You‘ll have better results, conversing with a brick wall.

*****Best just to ignore him both ways. Click on his profile, you’ll see a block (ignore). Click the toggle and he’s blocked.

Then go to your profile at the top of the page on the right. Click on it and you’ll see ignoring I. The right column. Click on it and check both boxes. This way, he won’t be able to see any of your posts and you won’t see his. Bingo you have a winner.🇺🇸*****

The RR begs for a CC, due to it being a twin turbocharged GDI. The higher the boost the more blow-by past the rings to the crankcase. The higher the crankcase pressure, the more condensation, fuel and oil vapor being forced thru the PCV to be recycled in the emission system and over the intake valves.

No fuel washing over the intake valves on a GDI, causes coking and carbon to form on the intake valves. https://www.ranger6g.com/forum/threads/ranger-raptor-upr-catch-can-installation.12400/
