BMW 328d N47 Oil Catch Can Setup

The BMW 328d N47 diesel engine boosts pretty high (26psi) compared to gas engines, and with aftermarket tunes boosts even higher (I've seen 32psi). At higher pressures, blow by tends to be worse and you may want a catch can to prevent fouling of your intake. This video will show you how to install a catch can system in your BMW 328d. If you're on the stock tune, I'd say this is more of a "nice to have" than a "should have," but some of the aftermarket tunes out there that crank boost levels up even more, and will produce more blow-by.
There are a lot of catch can options out there, and I probably wouldn't recommend the one I used due to it's expensive price, excessive barb size, and that it requires an additional set of couplers/adapters for those large barbs it comes with. There are other good options out there from Mishimoto, Burger, FTP, ect.
