    Breather ?

    Sorry More questions for you guys
    lve not driven it yet but had it running for 30 minutes and noticed fumes coming from the KN breather filter no oil yet tho ? The question is should I run it to a catch tank and put the breather on that instead ?
    Im 2 breathers one from standard point of block straight out with no kidney box or pcv! The other from under the turbo side again straight out and to the top of of a alloy separator

    The bottom of the separator goes straight to the sump under the oil level

    and the top breathers to atmosphere via the KN

    hope that it makes sense
    cheers paul

    Same as I've done Paul , no problem there just make sure the return to the sump is below the oil level
