Breather plumbing...

Have any of you modified your breather piping?? Beacuse I am getting the turbo intake piping done I need to know if I have to have the breather attachment. What pipes must be connected to the PC valve?? The vertical pipe outlet on the turbo side of the motor can that just get a K&N breather filter??

Can I connect the front breather to the PC valve, the vertical breather to a K&N filter and block the other off??

Mine is totally modified... I'll try and post a pic tommorrw

To give you a short rundown...

I removed the breather pipe from the intake...

My cam cover breathers run to a catch tank witch then runs to my plenum, that's it, the clean line (one from the catch tank) run's to the PVC valve on the plenum. So far it worked fine

Where did you mount the catch tank?? All the catch tanks I have seen are big, for some unknown reason. So you have all 3 pipes leading into the catch tank and 1 into the PC valve.

No Derek, I was thinking you explain to me how it works.

Sorry it seems I'm a bit dig, these pipes are there to let the engine breathe and to get rid of access oil in your engine,access oil gets pushed through the breather pipes to the turbo inlet and through the turbo to get burned(on the exaust side, the intake side does more or less the same but it skippes the turbo part, it goes in the intake and are burned...) , this catch tank are put in place to catch all this access oil, which means no more oil through the intake or turbo.

We all talk about oil in our intercooler pipes, it mainly comes from the breather pipes unless your turbo seals are shot, the catch tank removes this oil in your intercooler pipes and intercooler helping the coolers efficiency and keeping it's efficiency.

You connect them to the turbo intake to create a vacuum and help draw out the oil fumes.
