The OCC wasn't designed to eliminate the need for walnut blasting, but more to prevent oil blow through from clogging up (and reducing the efficiency) the FMIC/CP/DVs or BOV. The PCV on the N54 really doesn't seal that well, so the OCC was designed to filter out the oil vapors before they clogged up other things further down the intake tract.

The BMS OCC is the #1 OCC & the only one "approved" by Rob Beck for use with his turbos
