Right, in an attempt to reduce the oil coming up the pressurised air tube (could be the turbo bearing but shouldn't be because I always warm up and cool the turbo when setting off and arriving) and to keep the inlet system a bit cleaner, I'm going to fit a catch can. The arrows in the pic's show the vapour path out the engine and into the air feed pipe.
This pic shows the tube that feeds the vapour from the engine to the airtube. The plastic assembly at one end is a valve that opens under certain pressure conditions. It looks like the valve feeds from the return tube from the intercooler but there's a hidden tube underneath that feeds from the cylinder head.
This pic shows the tube removed.
And this is the £20 eBay catch can. Quality is pretty good except for the O-rings which look like they're made of old liquorice. A trip to halfrauds should sort that out:
Now to track down some 15mm ID rubber oil tubing...
