I know theres a few people running oil 'breathers' on their B2xx engines.
I'm interested in how people have them plumbed, whether you're also using the stock breather/flame trap setup and where you have your breather or catch can mounted.
Cheers,
Ash

I've seen these sorts of breathers before, would be fairly easy to fab up.
Is anyone running a breather from the valve cover to a catch can etc?

I'm using a cheapo setup off ebay. Out of the stock box, into the chromey one, then into the air inlet to the turbo. Works pretty well.

Ah cool.
I was thinking of keeping the stock breather setup and then welding a bung into the valve cover to a seperate breather (similar in concept to the B21 valve cover).
Thoughts?

Sounds like a good idea but why not just vent the standard line going to the intake? With a catch can or etc..
I would mount a can beside the battery tray and have it in line before it goes to the intake. (I'm talking on an NA motor) A turbo makes it easier, just goes back in on the same side before the inlet.
I bought a SuperCheap catch can. Dont go there. They are giant, and leak. Get a small cylindrical one.
All this being said Marc's setup owns. But he did put alot of thought into it.

that is pretty much what i did. works well, i didn't even weld, just a pipe fitting threaded in.

One 5/8 line to stock location, other to where block mounted fuel pump would go.
you've probably already seen mine, but anyway:

Got my Greddy one off ebay for around $25. Had to make a bracket. I just ran a hose from the stock breather box on the block to the can, and another hose from the can to the stock location in the intake elbow before the turbo. I left out the flame trap and just attatched the hose straight to the box.
