That's why I installed and UPR industries catch can, one of the differences from the UPR to ELITE is that the ELITE hoses slide over the barb fittings, where the UPR catch can hose's have the same quick disconnect fittings that your car came with. Put mine on last week only have 40km since install, will check it later for oil residue.

If you're looking to make your own hoses and use OEM style quick disconnects, another way is to extract the connectors from the u-hose you take off your car (or buy a spare for 20 bucks). May also be possible to use a 3/8" S.U.R.&R. quick connect (like a KP020) which would cost a couple of dollars.

I'm personally not sold on the UPR, because I'm not sure why they added the WOT evacuation upstream of the throttle body on an n/a car. If it's not needed then it just adds another hose to the C7's underhood spaghetti bowl. :nono:

Is this also an issue with the Z06?

The problem is much worse with forced induction engines, so on a Z06 even more essential to have one. Problem is currently neither UPR or Elite have a system for a Z06, seems installing one might involve removal of the intake itself.
