PCV removal, it removes alot of hoses that are prone to splitting from under the inlet manifold. The only difference between those cans is the mounting position. If you mount the one you posted the same way I've mounted mine the inlets would be pointing to the left instead of the front of the bay.

 

[scotty18]

do i have to do the removal to fit the catch tank? sorry for all the questions new to modding engines. :/

 

[RDS]

Ask away mate, thats the main purpose of these forums.

You dont need to, I had a can fitted for a few month before I decided to do the PCV removal. The main reason I removed mine was a split hose.

 

[scotty18]

thats ok mate, think i might remove mine eventualy, reason i ask is my dad wants one aswel for his s3 but hes not into removing things he wont even do the n249 bypass.

what do you think to this think its same as one you posted but black

The inlets are too small mate, ideally you want 19mm but you can get away with 15mm but dont go any smaller then that.

 

[scotty18]

ok mate, could get the 1 you posted then spray it mat black

 

[RDS]

If you look here:

you can see a blue pipe around the inlets, thats the 15mm pipe that came with the can. If you do this then the 19mm pipe you need will fit better over the inlets.

 

[scotty18]

right so i need to order extra 19mm pipe or will the 15mm work that comes with it? wonna make shure i get the right stuff to do the job

 

[RDS]

Yeah you need some 19mm ID hose and a T piece:

 

[scotty18]

ok but 15mm what comes with the tank would do then could change it for 19mm later?

 

[RDS]

Not sure the 15mm pipe will fit over the rocker cover breather and the oil filter housing pipe work, this is how mine use to be fitted befor the PCV removal:

I would wait until you have the 19mm hose to fit it.

Really mate thought 10mm was just clearing? They really close to your brembos?
