Emptied My Oil Catch Can: 

and this gunk came out. Absolutely gross. And to think, before this, it was going into the turbo and then the turbo’s intercooler! :( 
This is only half of what came out. Because I didn’t use a funnel, the other half got all over the garage floor.

Catch Can Mounting Peekaboo: 

Collecting gross burnt oil vapor instead of Smart/Mercedes’ original design to send the burnt oil vapor into the clean air intake / turbo intake. What happens to vapor when it cools? It condenses. Which means it condenses in the turbo’s intercooler. 
However, to correct this, an oil catch can must be fitted. The downside of catch can is that it needs to be frequently emptied.

Catch Can Mounting Close Up: 

 I think I may need to tighten the clamp some more so burnt oil vapor does not escape and cover everything.

Up close of my new stereo headunit: 

Kenwood KIV-BT900. I also got the add-on HD radio module but have not installed it.
