The solution from Turner is to offer a rebuildable mount with a Teflon lined bearing for increased durability combined with a blue anodized body and melonite coated bushing sleeves to resist corrosion and maximize ball articulation. This solid monoball design reduces play and increases feel so the performance is felt either on the street or the track with almost zero added NVH.

A lesser known feature of the highest caliber performance cars has nothing to do with engine power output, suspension dynamics, or build materials.

An unfortunate consequence of the modern closed PCV/breather system is the unintended ingestion of oil vapor and carbon into the intake tract. This lowers the octane rating and leaves harmful deposits on a vehicle's intake valves and ports that result in decreased power. Engineered and manufactured at Turner Motorsport, the Turner Baffled Oil Catch Can features a highly efficient 4-chamber oil separator; this design decreases oil ingestion and maintains engine power output. This design also catches as much blow-by gas as possible, bringing carbon buildup to an absolute minimum.
