I keep missing it! At that price, I'll buy 3! Keep letting me know if you see it on sale again.

On side note, what other sites are good for daily deals besides Amazon goldbox?
Interested in the ContourGPS? I've decided not to keep mine. Will sell it at the Gold Box price of $179 + $30 for the mount and throw in the Bluetooth card for free. I'd rather deal local than return it, even at a small loss.

ContourGPS: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...00_i00_details
Bluetooth Adapter: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...00_i00_details
Strap Mount: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...00_i01_details
I may be interested in a few days. When I saw your deal I pointed it out to my wife and showed her how cool the contour gps was. She had an extremely unamused look on her face. I think she bought me a gopro for christmas. Will follow up post christmas gift exchange. Also, want to do a little more comparison between the two before I decide one way or another.

That's more than enough. I saw a DIY thread where they were using compressor bypass valves at about 2-3 oz.

Jason, reinforce that the GoPro is a fantastic gift, but I'm offering the best value.

That's what I wanted to hear. Thanks.

Was that for a forced induction car or just a normal catch can?

I used an inline compressor oil separator from lowes on mine. Cost about 25 bucks and I used some AN fittings/hose I already had. Works really well, but its capacity is relatively low ( maybe 4-5oz). I believe there was one that was larger there, but I was space limited under the hood.

Thanks. After thinking about it, if I lose more than a quart the engine is not very healthy and the turbo will be coming off.

Any of you guys running a Recaro Profi in your car? I need to find one to try sitting in.

Good point. NA, I believe. But would FI lose that much more to the catch can to necessitate a quart capacity?

And the doohickey I was talking about is what Mike said. Not a bypass valve. I should have dug the thread up but I'm on my phone.
