Metal T pipes depending on size, B&Q plumbing section

Oh ok

 

[Vaughny]

I've already got a catch tank on order, so where did you buy the T joint? Thanks

He's got links to the T piece and the hosing he used. All arrived very quickly from eBay.

I hope so. I need to fit my uprated TIP at the same time but have a AmD CAI so not sure how easy my weekend will be.

phil have you noticed any difference since you fitted it?

phil have you noticed any difference since you fitted it?

No oil in the pipes and intercoolers, when I took my single LC IC off when I fitted the twin LCR ones there was about half a litre of oil in it, when I did the front mount about 12 months later there was none in the intercooler and I don’t get the oily residue in the boost pipes now. So yes a difference

This is my new Catch Tank, i had it custom made it has two in takes not one so no need for the "T" piece and the exit to the tip there is a baffle infront of the exit to trap any oil vapours so they dont get in the system, i have tried both the tip exit and to atmosphere and the tip is better alo having it go to the tip helps with the breathing as the intake pulls the air from the tank so assists the flow from the crank.

When bill took apart my turbo due to INA manifold cracking, there was a lot of oil down the pipes etc. Car is getting old now over 100k and def needs the catch can sorting. Which is being done in May time
