Can someone write an idiots guide to fitting and oil catch and breather, there seems to be a bit of confusion on the threads i've found, or maybe i just got confused reading them. Pictures and diagrams would help yes

Just need to know which pipe to connect to and which to blank off. Having looked at the diagrams it would make sense to put it in line from the breather on the rocker cover but no one seems to have done it that way!

The main breather that goes back to the inlet pipe should go to the catch tank, the tank then has it's own breather pipe with filter.

Having trouble finding a tank with 19mm fittings, the only ones i can find have a breather on top and an inlet and outlet. From what i have read i need a tank with only an inlet and outlet one of which has the breather connected to it. All the suitable tanks have 9 and 15mm inlets, is it ok to use a reducer or sleave the inlets?
Also do you need to use fluro lined silicone or similar oil resistant hose?

I used a 15mm inlet/outlet tank and used a 22mm to 15mm copper reducer for plumbing to allow me to connect the tank to the oil return pipe using a silicone connector pipe .

22mm? So it's not 19mm! I take it thats the pipe from the stock tank to the turbo inlet pipe?
