    After completing the fabrication of our brackets for this kit and assembling the STI-specific lines, it was time to tackle the WRX. As you may be aware, the stock CCV lines are slightly different on the WRX, which necessitates a separate set of WRX-specific catch can lines.

    The Test Subject

    After reaching out to local contacts, we found a willing vehicle donor just one state away. We have borrowed this particular vehicle on several occasions for a variety of test fittings. A big "thank you" to the owner for lending his vehicle and his time for the sake of awesome new product development!

    Catch Can Selection

    As with our 2015 WRX project, we would be using a dual catch can system to address both the PCV line and the crankcase breather line. One of the main differences would be the inclusion of a three-port breather catch can to replace the two-port unit used on the FA20 engine. The EJ engine features a breather line for each valve cover, which necessitates a dual-in, single-out catch can for that system.
