OK then why are people saying adding a CC voids the warranty?

Excellent link! As members of SAE ourselves, we participate in these roundtable discussions and seminars to keep up on all of this, and as several reply's indicate this is hard to follow for the layman, this is what we as a company do to stay on the cutting edge of GDI technology. We share this not to confuse, but to offer actual science based explanations on the cause and effect of the problems all GDI engines face. Actual data holds far more credibility that "because so and so say's so" or I had a car that ran x amount of trouble free miles". These are not the engines of the past, and as we continue to bring the most effective solutions to the consumer, we will always stay on top of this and share with those wanting to learn and understand.

I think a dealership refused someones warranty claim. I am sure there is a thread buried in here somewhere.

It really depends on the Dealer. Most dealers understand the benefits of installing a well designed Catch Can.

Correct. Some people have a hard time accepting that fact.

On the clean side, yes. Not on the PCV side, which is where the majority of blowby goes.

Well if they do have a cc then what about the 2 ounces of sh!t that I empty out of my elite cc every 1000 or so miles?

Why can't people stay on topic to better the community? How does this thread devolve to a cc debate?
