nice turbo choice. is your can 15mm outlets ?
Yer turbo will see me 260bhp witch is enough without a LSD lol
Yes 15mm in/out lets 16mm pipe 3m of and a 15mm t piece only reason is the pipe will have to fit over the rocker cover outlet witch is 19mm so it will be a tight fit but then the pipe won't be hanging off the rest of the stuff i.e can ect

Pretty simple but i got to say if you do this mod be very gentel when removing the not needed pipe from the crank breather as they are very brittle and snap like mine did.
Parts needed :
- catch can with 15mm in and out let tips.
- 3M of 16mm piping oil/water anything like that.
- 6 1" D clips (the catch can one's will be to small)
- 15mm T peace
- flat head crew driver
- Alan key's
- Stanley knife or a sharp knife
Basically you need to remove all the breather pipes and simplise it as it is in the diagram you can remove the hokey puk (tip breather) from the intake pipe and just block that hole up and direct the pipe down the back of the gear box as i did just gets rid of all the tight bunched up parts around the DV.
Any question on this mod just as took me half hour to do.
