I was looking at how an oil catch tank would fit in my car today as i have one on the way to stop all the oily crap from the breathers going back into the intake, and i got a bit lost because ive two breathers.
Do i remove and fit the catch tank to the yellow breather or green breather? Or would i blank off both intake ends and fit the catch tank to both breathers on the engine? Ignore the blue circle, i was missing a bracket but i found it in the boot This post has been edited by Ronan: Feb 1, 2009 - 8:38 AM -------------------- |

boosted cars see more gases in the crankcase than NA cars. Those gases are impregnated with oil droplets that end up coating the inside of your intake piping and manifold once they pass through the pcv valve. The problem that arises for turbocharged cars comes from having the intercooler coated in a layer of this purged oil. It just lowers the overall cooling efficiency. Your car wont explode but it wont be running at its best after a while.
