    i got the ITG too, but...
    I didnt see it but my tech told me the ITG just fell apart when he removed it and was horrible. Sticking to OE CSL BMC filters from now on. And i have the BMC cleaning kit so i can clean them too.

        Does anyone know the size of the hose for the catch can?

          Sorry to bump an old thread, but has anyone installed this on an 05 or 06 M3? I'm dumb and am very much stuck trying to figure out how to route the secondary PCV system using Radium's install instructions (step 5a):

            The verbiage is pretty self explanatory. It refers to the valve cover fitting that has the smaller tube going to the solenoid. If you have a later car, you can either reroute the smaller tubing, depending on how old and brittle it is, or cut the smaller hose off and retain the fitting to the solenoid. Use an appropriate rubber tube replacement, then wash your hands and have a cold one.

              I ended up figuring it out. My issue was not realizing just how far I could spin the smaller tubing without it breaking/cracking in order to get the fitting to point the other direction towards the catch can. I can't post photos from my work computer (Flickr is blocked), so I'll get around to that later.

                Awesome. I have a radium can from one of my s54 swapped e36 m3s, however my 06 motor which is mu zhp has only 45k miles and has 0 blow by or leak down so no need for the catch.
