K'in hell!

Hope it works after all that effort.

I have a similar plan mapped out in my head.

Probably never get around to doing it though.

Nice job,I fancy a bit of that for my next project,would save on a few scraped knuckles.
Am I right in saying that your turbo oil feed return pipe is plumbed directly into where the breather would normally exit rather than return to the existing oil return at the back of the engine.

it did originally return into what was the breather,but it was slightly uphill,so we drilled and tapped a half inch BSP hole just below it...but it was an engine back out job to do it.
