UPR Catch Can Options

[jgonza5]

Looks like UPR offers a few upgrades to their 2015-19 units, but little info beyond the description on their site.

What do you all know about / Would you recommend:
1. Billet Pro Series Check Valve, (1 or 2).
2. Hi-Flo PCV Fitting
3. Drain Line Kit

Options make it easy to tack-on another $150 on an already pricey mod.

Finally, has UPR ever run sales, promos, etc. in the past?

Thanks!

Perhaps, but most cars out there do not run catch cans and seem to last a long time without them. Not sure if there is some kind of engine defect that makes them necessary.

Helps prevent crud recirculating down the intake track and coating the tops of the valves. With any GDI engine and especially turbo every car should have one IMO.

Any GDI motor that does not have a pre-intake valve injector needs a CC period.

I went with the check valve option and also a breather kit (replaces the factory oil cap).

Spoke with UPR on the phone prior to purchase and they advised that the "Hi-Flo" fitting wasn't necessary.

Didn't bother with the drain line as I like to inspect the can/filter media carefully at each oil change.
