Damond Motorsports OCC V1 review

[Justus]

So I went and split this up as most of this part of my writeup is geared towards feedback. I posted results of the kit after a 3400 mile oil change here:

As it has already been mentioned in a few other threads, the time frame in getting this can be delayed. I believe it took a little over two months from when I first placed my order until I actually had the kit, but Matt did email me a few times over that period to tell me it was continuing to be delayed (albeit was usually prompted by me asking what the status was).
He did continuously offer a refund in all of the correspondence, so I knew I could rely on him being good for the transaction regardless.

In the end, Matt offered me a discount on the kit to make up for the delay.

On to the installation:
I used Matt's installation guide on the website for the kit I had bought (Version 1). Everything was pretty straight forward with a couple minor nuances. The biggest being no mention was made of the hose coupler.
After removing the stock Z rubber section, I went to install the kit supplied tubing on the PCV nipple and found that the diameter and pliability of the hose made it extremely difficult to manipulate. So much so that I had to zip tie a bend on to the hose to keep the angle I needed to get it on the nipple. That one portion probably took me 2 hours and series of cuts on the hands to get in back on the PCV nipple.
After I got it on, I took a break and went through everything again and found a hose elbow coupler. It immediately dawned on me that there was no apparent reason to remove the PCV side of the stock hose as this coupler was probably supposed to be used to mate the stock hose to the kit hose (which would save a ridiculous amount of time).

Unfortunately neither the kit invoice (contents list) nor do the website instructions make mention of this coupler. And the instructions very much tell you to remove the stock hose...so either way I was going down that path.
Being that I had already monkeyed the thicker tubing onto the PCV, I decided not to touch it any further.

Here it is installed:


My results are link up at the top and it is a pretty significant amount of oil being collected.
Big props to Matt for designing a great kit and please incorporate my feedback into your website instructions so no one else makes the same mistake I did

Correct
Newest build is going to be even more crazy...new manifold, quick-spool valve, little more boost. Hit 901 at 30psi before running out of room on the MAP sensor.
Battling a new issue now on that car
