Can always rely on you for some decent advice Cully! Its just so bloody fiddly in such a tight space that makes it difficult.

The only thing thats worrying me is that the outlets on the can are at a 45 degree angle so as the hose goes on it wants to bend and kink. Would it be a better idea to put the reducers further away so the 19mm hose will be the short ones?

Where did you get the oil breather pipe from?

Thats not a bad shout buddy. Also, the little pipe that i've blocked off that you can see. Cant i just put a single hose there instead. Whats in the middle of it? Some sort of return valve?

i you have fittings to attach to on the side of your can you may be better off putting it where me and jock have as you can see how the pipe bends around tidy and do as jock said and change the ends over on catch can end to place mine where it is i used a piece of metal and bent it into an l shape and fixed to the plate under the cover using self tapping screws  :smiley:

Cheers for all your help guys, ive drew a few pictures so i think i know what to do now! Ill update you on Wednesday, i bought a breather hose on ebay, fingers crossed itll be here if not ill have to take a trip to TPS i think! Also, as you can see in my pic, the SAI pipe has snapped in two, ive put some masking tape on it for a VERY quick bodge. Would this cause any loss in boost or anything? May just bypass it at the same time if its not important.

you wont loose boost from the SAI but it frees space in the bay if you get rid :smiley:
I'd be tempted to use 2 small pieces of tubing off the 15mm fixings, then 45 degree plastic connectors before running the main pipes to rocker and puck
