116 SD's fed the PCV vent hose directly into the turbo u-tube. No separator.

I'm very interested in putting something together, mounting it low on the RH frame rail and plumbing it into the system. I don't get a lot of oil vapor coming out of the breather, but after about 4,000 to 5,000 miles, I will start to get droplets of oil cominig out of the wastgate vent. This should pretty much knock that out. It never does drop any oil on the ground. Instead, it lands on the RH engine mount and collects.

I have seen some catch cans on the import tuner sites that might work and save me time in building one from scratch.

Any ideas????

I am thinking of doing the same, as I see the same oil show up as you... The custom-made version for my 2011 (looks really nice and is super-high quality) was over $200 for a powder-coated, CNC/laser cut and machined unit.

Id be wary of anything that is filled with steel wool, has any plastic in it, or doesnt have an interface diameter similar to the breather hose ID.

The 240D's separator is primarily a crankcase depression valve, it limits crankcase vacuum when the intake butterfly is closed.
