oil catch can

Few pics:

Used a drift catch can re-polished it, added a drain petcock with a hose run to the bottom of car so when I need to drain it drop a pan on the ground and drain it, easy as. Put in a check valve to stop the boosted pressure from back charging the tank.
And than added bling.

Finished engine bay:

Hope you all approve

Wow that engine bay is looking so sexy, you must have been a busy man

Can I ask how you run the Diverter valve on fully venting.
My car idles funny when venting to atmosphere, if you come up to a set of lights, say at 4000rpm and push the clutch in, it will stall

Oh also is that some kind of boost device in the front on the engine bay, I see 2 knobs lol

dump valve is a struggle right now might have to vent it back to tip and yes it is.

Have you played around with the boost, how does it go, it is the one the guy on Vortex is selling (Boost Machine or something)??

About the 42DD catch can, it is a good looking piece, it looks very well projected, but where is the space to put it? I’m removing lots of stuff from the engine bay, but I’m not being able to clear a big site for a descent catch can.

Returning the fumes to the intake is not an option… I removed the entire stock breathing system to clear the intake of any impurity.

Dump the fumes to the exhaust pipe is in my opinion the best choice.

I use it in my other car and I had tried to use it in the Polo, but in the Polo it was restricting… the valve was holding 0,2bar inside the engine.. It was doing more harm them good. The solution was to use two valves… but once again I have the lack of space.

I've read a few people feeding it into the dump / exhaust on an angle to help get rid of the fumes, makes sense if done right...

I'm going to make a dodgy DIY can to see what happens, welcome the siver bullet;
