16mm ID Braided hose was from Ebay braided hose

Its too big for the 15mm connectors on the catch tank, so I used a short piece of the see-through hose to sleeve the catch tank connector up to 16mm. Also, the 16mm bore is smaller than the 19-20mm of the breather hose, so one of the blue connectors needs to be a 19mm -> 16mm reducer

Blue hose connectors (straight or reducer) are from Halfrauds

Chaps,

A couple of questions as it looks like I need to do this mod.. I'm not 100% sure as to whether quoted sizes are for a SIP, or standard intake (assuming there is a difference??)...

- What size oil breather filter do I need to connect to pipe 4? (this is the more important bit)
- What size blanking plug do I need to block off the hole on a standard turbo intake pipe? (25mm I think)

Cheers!

Tim.

I have looked through that guide and searched through numerous other posts - but it's not 100% clear, or I'm thick laugh

Annoyingly, I had all the correct bits over a year ago, and then sold them as I didn't think I'd need them.. rolleyes

It's the size of the filter that is the important bit I'm really after..

I can help with the less important bit, to block the turbo side I used a bung which was a reducer 30mm -> 25mm. Sorry I can't remember about the pipe 4 side, as it was ages ago I did this.

Just been cleaning my bailey this weekend and noticed that the item blocking my hole it none other than a spark plug laugh
