Hey gentlemen, I was wondering if you could help me out a lil bit. I need a small oil oil catch can that has nipples for a Breather, A "feed" line and a drain line. I found

Why not just use an air/oil seperator for an air compressor. Most of them have thread petcock drains that you could easily unscrew and screw in a barb'ed fitting.

If I had access to the shop, I would fab up my own but I don't, so I have to find a suitable replacement. Plus, my dad doesn't have time to make one off's like that.
An Air/Oil separator may work... but the problem I'm trying to alleviate is a little large for that I would think. The Colorado blows out a decent amount of oil out of the vent in the valve cover at full boost. So I just need a catch can with a breather, that has a drain in it that I will "Y" into the turbo drain so I don't have to drain it every other time I go to full boost.

Do you think you're flowing more than 150 cfm's out your breather hole?

I need pics of this colorado. we have a 06 extreme at the shop, may give us some ideas
I dunno about routing the drain of the catch can back into the turbo oil drain. Alot more than oil blows out of the valve cover, theres alot of water in there too. Something I would think about. If it were me, I would design some kind of baffle to put into the valve cover to keep oil from blowing out so easily.
But if that is what you want, here are a couple I found
Canton Racing breather can
Jegs Products breather can

yeah i know moisture comes out of the breathers too. so i am not sure you want to be rerouting that back into the oil system.
