Going to bump this thread up to save the server space of a new one.I'm after a catch tank as I am fitting ITBs. Would a tank with 15mm fittings do the job? ________________________________________  |

Hmm.I am going to leave the right hand crank breather one as is I think, and really just want to do something with the left one which went to the throttle body and is now redundant. Could just use a breather filter off the left one I suppose. Suggestions welcome. ________________________________________ |

Yours is a rebuilt engine Stan, with nice parallel bores and close fitting ring gaps. Not a 100k miler with a hard breathing engine with lots of blow-by into the crank case pushing lots of oil mist out.________________________________________ R H Davey Welding Supplies.

If you see smoke at idle you will get mess when under hard use. ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |

i'd just get a proper mocal catch tank and be done with it. the breathers are annoying and fire vapour all over everything, not to mention underneath and all over the road. plus they smell aswell. i did have to chuck a little bung in the top of my mocal lid though as it would still leak vapour out of there and you could smell it in the cabin ________________________________________ 306 rallye reproduction decals (full sets/individual decals) | 306 b-pillar textured vinyl weatherstrips306 slam panel esso stickers | 306 yellow / orange / pension fund red side door badges gti6 inlet manifold badges | 306 rear boot badges (p2/p3) winner of Extraction of toys from prams with outstanding vigour award 2009 [source: gti6 owners club] |
