Hi all, 

 

Bought a 2nd hand induction kit for my NA recently, have fitted it but have found that there is nowhere to put the crank case breather pipe which previously plugged into the the pipe just behind the air box. 

Question now is what to do with it? Do i...

 

1. Modifying the pipework on the induction kit to feed the crank case breather pipe. 

or

2. Fit one of the small breather filters. These look good, but I worry it will just get clogged and I'll need to clean it out regularly. 

or

3. Add an oil catch tank - Know its usually the Tubbys and SC's which have these but I'm assuming same principles apply. 

 

Any advice much appreciated on these or other potential options and their associated benefits / pitfalls, worried this may have an impact on the emissions or make car run rich. 

 

Pictures would help loads, but stuck at work currently, will add some as soon as I'm home tonight.

The main reason for plugging it back into the inlet pipe is to get rid of the smells.

Only reason for a catchtank, is if you actually are pushing crap out of the breather.

 

So all 3 of your solutions will work just fine.
