I decided to put an Oil Catch Can on my F-Type, and documented the approach I took, and put it in a DIY to help others that may decide to do it as well.
I chose to buy a used PCV tube/pipe and sacrifice it, by cutting it and using the snap on end fittings and adding heater/fuel hose to reach the Can. I also installed it in the compartment where the Cabin Air Filter is located, so like most all of my mods/updates it is barely, or un-detectable.
I also decided to do it on the Partial Load side (right/passenger) after reading on how the system is working. The Full Load PCV could be done in a similar fashion and is on the (left/driver) side.
There are many was to do this, and this is just how I chose to do it. Also, not buying or selling on whether or not you should, should not, need, or don't need. The purpose is to offer a way to do it that is neat and tidy, works well, and preserves your OEM PCV tube It is not to debate if they work, or don't work, or if they are needed or not.
I will also add this link to my DIY thread for ease of those searching later.
Rock88, why did you choose to do only the partial load side? Also, I don't understand why Jag calls one side partial load and one side full load. It you can explain that then the answer to why you did only the partial side will be obvious. Thanks!

My opinion. Most often the car is NOT under full load or heavy load...Just normal driving... so that is where most of the PCV action is occurring, and where you will catch the blow by oil most/all of the time. The idea is to minimize how much oil is getting coated on the top end / valves of the engine, and this seems to get you there. If so inclined, no reason you could not add another one...It would just not do much most of the time. If you want a 100% solution...Do both. I suspect if you did both, the partial side would have the bulk of the oil in the can, and the full load side would have very little.

Why the Partial Load Side Only
