wires, wires, wires everywhere  what do they all do ?

Thought the idea if moving the battery was to tidy up the bay? Does look a bit hectic tbh.

[Dan_GTi8v]

Its a work in progress we're not all blessed with garages and/or cover from the rain and dark 

Bits and pieces are slowly getting done, just hard up for time especially as it gets dark so early now and this is my only car so I need to finish whatever I start 

It does look better now just need time for an update

[Dan_GTi8v]

Getting close to the bay being finished now, thinking I'm gonna be getting a 42DD stealth catch can at some point as its the only one I can find with 19mm inlets. Does seem a lot of money for what it is though 

I've sorted out the boost piping now and it looks much better, tomorrow gonna play around with the catch can at a last attempt of making it look half decent before I give in buy some new pipe and stealh can. Also gonna move the washer tank to drivers side.

Fingers crossed for pictures!

If you want the can out of the way, put it where the carbon canistor went. Just has the pipes showing.




Comes out behind drivers side light.

great minds think alike :p this is what I've decided I'm going to do, just ordered another length of pipe also ordered a load of water washer pipe so as soon as that comes I'll do it all together. Going to get a new can as well, seems to fill quite quickly and this ones a pain in the arse to empty

If it fills quick, your engine may be breathing heavy. Are you sure its being circulated back into the engine right?
That should stop it filling quick.
My can has a drain plug underneath, that you can get to by putting your hand under the bumper. I just don't like the fact that it isnt sealed very well

[Dan_GTi8v]

how would I know if it was circulating right? pretty much all I've done is take out the pcv valve and put a can in its place, and made the hoses longer

When I say it fills quick, it's never actually filled but I'd say it fills maybe a 1/4 up the indicator tube in just over a month (iirc thats the last time I checked it) My can looks the same as yours, just has a different brand name on the top, thinking about it if I move it so I can get access to the underneith it would be much easier to empty and I may not need a new one 

[tshirt2k]

A quarter a month is nothing. have you filled it with scourers? cant remeber reason why. but think it helps vapour condense easier

[Dan_GTi8v]

Nothing inside it just empty can. I thought1/4 was a lot, I've read of only half being filled in 6 months
