i would advise against putting anything in there that has a chance of breaking up and getting sucked into the turbo. If you want a cheap home-made baffle solution.. try a cut down blade from a cheese grater.

went to install my homade catch can today, but was getting confused with the sump breather...

i think its the one near the dipstick with two 90degree bends on the tube, one end going to the engine and the other to a t-piece???

removed the t piece, and was going to just straight connect the two reaining, but couldn't get my tube over them.

i was the going to use the t piece for the install (if that makes sense?)

am i going along the right lines here?nr the dipstick u got the big elbowand a smaller hose blank off smaller one and connect to the big elbow.u remove the t piece and valve etc if im makin sense mate :smiley:
