Well i can't link to eBay at work but if you search "universal catch can" you should find the one, its around £30 +/- p&p.

You then need the following;

2x 19mm - 15mm reducers (i opted for some with a 90deg bend due to the location of my can)
2metres (approx) of 19mm hose (i opted for silicone flexible hose - it has a wire bead to stop it creasing when you bend it)
1 x 19mm plastic T-piece
2 x 19mm straight connector
Various jubilee clips for 15mm and 19mm connections and some bolts that you can use as blanking plugs for the spare vacumm ports on the inlet manifold once the old pipework is removed.

And i think thats it! Wish i had a list when i did mine as i ended up buying nearly twice of everything in various sizes as i kept changing my mind and finding out issues as i went along!

Here are some pics of mine fitted (please ignore the red pipe going to the CAI!). I have since also modded the engine cover so that fits back on too  :smiley:

Also worth replacing your breather pipe and seal while you're in there as they're very prone to perishing....

Ah yes, would that be the f~#@ing small 90deg plastic elbow that comes off the oil filter housing? What a PITA that was to get back on!
