Hi matey,

we use the oil catch tank to remove any excess oil in the system, stop it from blowing around the engine.

Not sure on the exact fitting but Pip did mine and it looks alittle something like this (single turbo though) :cool

One pipe goes from the catch to the oil filler neck and the other goes from the catch to the floor, its just there to release pressure. I have a question of my own though, i have two pipes coming out of the filler neck one pointing down and one horizontal. I know its the horizontal onew it goes on but what do i do with the other pipe that its connected to now, do i just block it off?
cheers
