One breather approach

I think the breather, especiallly on a cold engine, may contain moisture condensate. With the stock plumbing set up, this is drawn into the intake and burned by the combustion process. If that condensate is collected with oil vapor, I"d rather not put that back into the oil.

Like Rutager, I did not want to risk oil vapors, via the stubby filter, or fuss with emptying a catch can.

PMO supplied a "T" fitting with the rain hats, (with Al's X Factory kit). I am running the big breather hose from the triangle of death to the oil tank, then the tank output hose to the T, where the two, supplied vent hoses go to the 90 degree fitting on each rain hat. The end of the T is threaded for a barb and i will use that connection to the T to receive the charcoal canister output line. I think i will tuck the canister into the back right corner of the engine compartment.

I too am concerned about fuel lines, so had Len, (BoxterGT), build a set of supply and return lines with stainless flex rather than rubber, (for the engine compartment). I used his tunnel lines and factory rubber, crimped hoses up to the new tank and fuel pump.

My ITB conversion has been stalled for rust repairs, duck tail painting, fuel line replacement, oil cooler and tank work by Pacific Oil Cooler, etc etc.......
