Default Catch can options

Since I have my suspension sorted out now I want to start preparing for a entry level turbo kit. One thing I know I will need is a catch can. Since I have an 05 with the poorly designed drive side valve cover I figured it would be a benefit even before boost.

I would like a clean looking kit I don't want shiney aluminum or anything like that. I really like the look of the Trick catch can but it seems a little expensive.

What cans do you guys use? What do you like and dislike about them?

Any other small mods I can do while I save for a turbo!

Thanks!

I am running a Mike Norris $99 deal, I ran the same one on both of my F-body cars. Easy to mount, simple design. Mine is black andonized, almost blends in with the rest of the engine bay.

All options look really good but without knowing anything about them I'm considering the cheapest option the Speed engineering square looking one.

Does anyone have any good comparison information?

I happen to have some bussiness up in Wichita Falls in 2 weeks so I will be stoping by Trick performance to check out their turbo kits and very possibly picking up his catch can system. I like buying things I can touch first.

That catch can looks like the ebay specials for 40-50. Yet, the ebay one is empty...are those empty too

Just picked up one of the speed engineering catch cans for my father's Sierra. 2000 truck, newer 5.3 in it. Has oil consumption issues despite being low mileage. (Stupid 05'+ valve cover)

Does anyone know which port goes where? It has two ports side by side on the top. One my truck I have one going to the intake and the other going to the driver's side valve cover.
