Oh? and yet toyota decided it was a good spot to store FUEL? Take a look under that engine bay once, then tell me where else it would go. Cusco and greddy both make mkiii supra kits that braket right to the strut tower, which is even closer to the turbo. So honestly i think its pretty safe.

To be honest id really prefer to have a catch can than to have to clean out my intercooler because some oil got through and over time is now gumming up my shit. Its just a smart preventative thing to have. On any turbo car.

Ok well i should have said it would be better (instead of need) to put it in a cooler spot in the engine bay. Simple science tells you that if the surrounding air is colder it'll allow more vapors to into the catch can as opposed to it being next to the turbo. You can mount the catch can pretty much anywhere if need be. Just because some companies make brackets for a certain spot doesn't mean that is the recommended place for it.

Im not against putting it somewhere else, the only reason i wanna put it where the evap can is, is because iv never seen it anywhere else before. Iv tired to place it in many areas of the engine bay. But it doesnt make sense to put it on the driver side since both routings run to the passenger side, and if you really take this catch can and try to mount it somewhere inside of the passenger side, the only places it really fits with a decent amount of space, is either on the stut tower (RIGHT next to the turbo) or where the evap can is (behind and to the side of the turbo), so i choose the best spot of my descression. If you have other ideas by all means, please recommend them, thats why this topic is here.
