Working up the BHP ladder.

Do you guys on here generally run all the breathers into a catch tank or do you filter them to air?

Advantages and dis-advantages?

Cheers

Sold the turbo and seeing what the C20XE can do!

Near Lincoln

catch tank. stops the engine bay getting covered in shite *smiley*

plus race regs require one.

Ideal is a catch tank then on the catch tank a filter to air.

I just had breathers for a while, but you do end up with a lot of crap coming out of them into your shiny engine bay! Mine just vent to the floor at the moment, but this is only temporary until I find somewhere to put the tank.

In the 13's at last!.. Just

Look a bit small but very pimp, I'm thinking about one for the Open, but something more industrial for the Cubby.
