Are these worth bothering with??
What are the main benefits??

I currently have 1 breather on the radiator side.

A nice alloy catch tank would look good but is it worth it??

I use one because the regs say I have to.

From previouse experiance I reckon one on a road car would be a good Idea. I don't like the idea of oil flying around the engine bay getting everything oily, especially on a turbo motor as they tend to breath a bit more than NA engines.

Don't forget to empty it occasionally though.

Where is the best place to plumb it in??

Flywheel or radiator side??

Does it matter??

Use a breather one side and a catch tank the other??

If your having a catch tank then it needs to be plumed to both really or else there isnt a lot of point.

TO be honest ive never had an engine to breathe that bad it leaves any sort of oil deposit in the engine bay, it usually gets caught in the filter(s)

*smiley*

I will be doing however as i need to abide by the same blue book wil does (hopefully if i ever get it back on the road!)

Good point Iain.

I supposed I could always go with a breather on both sides
