NM Engineering Catch Tank is machined from billet 6061 aluminum alloy and anodized for stealth and added surface durability. The NM tank catches the oil and moisture in the blow-by gas that can cause carbon and sludge build-up in the turbo, intake system and the engine. Every piece of the kit can be disassembled for thorough cleaning and servicing.
The NM Engineering Catch Tank kit also features the Patent Pending Locking Clip system for securing the billet adapters to the OEM plastic fittings. It allows installer to simply slip the adapter onto the OE fitting and the clip will snap in place keeping the adapter from backing out.
The kit includes block-off plug for the rear PCV port.
Not-So-Fun Fact:
MINI dealer service charges 5-6 hours ($600-700) to clean your intake port from carbon build-up caused by the oil/moisture circulating back into the internal. This procedure is ‘recommended’ around 60-70,000 miles, after your warranty expires.
Notes: This will NOT work on the N18 engine that was released in 2011. The 2011 and newer MINI requires a different part number which is also available on our site. Fittings may be updated and depending on stock might be BLUE OR BLACK.
