Anyone local to north/ central NJ that can help with removal of BMS N55 OCC?

Instructions seem easy enough but I'm just not that savvy under the hood to mess with it yet - anybody familiar with the install and uninstall of the N55 BMS oil catch can please PM me.

Not that I know how... but any specific reason you're removing it? I was thinking about getting one.

See my post in the general section- it looks like all that was in the can was gas condensation and water mixed. I didn't see any oil in it, and it reeked of gasoline.

If you want I'll be cleaning mine up today and I can sell you mine

I assume it's worth it to have on, if only to catch what I posted in the general section from going into your intercooler etc.

The fact that I really didn't see any oil, at least that I know of- after seven months of it being on and driving fairly hard just didn't seem worthwhile to me.

so after 7 months of having it on you didn't find any oil in the can?

I'm no chemistry major but it sure didn't look like any oil- it smelled of gas and water vapor though.

Please see my post in the general section. Can you do me a favor dude- if you don't have the oil catch can on your car can you pull your engine cover and let me know if the picture in my post in the general section looks correct for stock?
