Nope not as far as i can make out, just a stright bit of pipe and 2 jubilee clips, the rocker breather side will be hard enough to secure to and im guessing the other side is too....

Forbez, posted that he was waiting for a 19mm bung to arrive. So i`ve orderd a 20mm ali plug for forge. Arriving tomoz with abit of luck.

Do you mean this part thats already a part of the engine? If so doesnt this act as the T bit you are talking about?

I'm with you. Slightly different to the Leon. The similar plastic pipe on the Leon splits and doesn't like the pressure of clips.

What I'm suggesting is neater ;)

If you look at Phil's charge pipe there's a 90 degree hose coming off the rocker cover. What I suggest is a short straight hose there, going into a T piece. The opposite side of the tee piece then goes to the catchtank.

The bottom of the teepiece points down and takes the hose curving from the oilfilter housing.

I'm with you, cheers. In which case if you use the standard piping from the oil filter housing up to the existing "t piece" then you should surely be able to get away with just 1 metre of superflex hose, assuming you don't want to run a long length down the wing for the outlet

Yeh, im with you DPJ,

I`ve orderd 2 mtrs so i can get it as far away from the engine as possible to down near the driver`s side wing.

Got my tank this morning just waiting on the hose and bung to come now.

people with monster modz tanks did you use the fixing bracket they supplied?

To me it looks like if im going to use that and the hole where the airbox used to be im going to have to modifiy it slightly?

Just working out everything I need for this as think I'll order the bits before the weekend and crack on with it.

Looking at it in the engine bay is much easier to work out where everything goes, that PCV is gonna be a bitch to get out I can see.
