    Does anyone know if this is the same case for the CTS catch can kit? I just picked it up and haven't installed it yet.

    Can only speak for my own experience with the CTS catch can... installed December 2013, never an issue. Hope you have the same trouble-free experience.

    I'm not sure how the CTS can works exactly, but it does have one of those aluminum plates that replace the PCV valve. That could very well be engineered in such a way that all positive crankcase pressure gets vented out of the turbo hose. Since the ECS cans are using the stock PCV valve and capping off half the system, that's a whole different story.

    I also have a feeling this issue with the ECS cans is exacerbated by the trash piston rings we have in our older motors. You won't be getting nearly as much blow-by in your '12 as OP and I in our CAEBs. That + pressure not being relieved = blown seals.
