    This comment is to help the algorithm! Mike is like that neighbor you help out once cause he’s always working alone then you end up spending hours with him cause you find out he’s a great guy and has an immense wealth of knowledge! Glad y’all decide to make these vids

    I've always heard an AOS was important in turbocharging. I know that it is pretty self-explanatory. Its obviously a device that separates air from oil but the detailed breakdown of this part, how it actually works and the explanation of "blow-by" were on point man! Thanks for all the insight and hard work you guys put into you videos....Very informative...I like the way you make simplicity out of complexity...

      Even better, and the next step up for doing the job, is a vacuum pump on the engine's crankcase, the only one's I've ever been around are mechanically driven, either as original engineering or as a performance upgrade, heavily boosted engine's practically require them, I'm talking aircraft racing engine's that make 100 psi of boost, an engine like that will load up the crankcase with so much oil mist it'll drag big power off anything that has to rotate through it.
      There's even some normally aspirated engine's that'll benefit from a vacuum pump, Harley's have always had bottom end breathing problems when built for high revving performance, for years every race team in Grand National racing has used mechanically driven vacuum pumps on the bottom ends of the Harley XR750 racing engine's.

    Another great video! The heated feature is interesting. I imagine that it really helps flash off more water and fuel vapor that way, not to mention speeding up oil return. Thanks for bringing us a in depth look!

    A great explanation of the features of this oil separator. Im running a non-turbo E25 in my 2009 subi forester & was surprised at just how much oil was collecting in the air box, this explanation really clarifies the root causes of some of my issues. Thank you. pity you arent in Australia.

Was hoping if we could come tour your place but I'm not sure if he can fit that into his schedule as he's a super busy guy. Anyways, thanks again for the great content. Perhaps you guys could cover how to build an FA motor that won't blow up sometime?!

    I have Tracey Lewis's - Air Oil Seperator on my 6th gen camaro. It is SOOOOOOOOOO good, I would say even normal Direct Injection cars even not meant for performance should have something similar installed. These GDI engines can break down very easy due to blow by build up. People just dont know how helpful these things are.
