    Hey Chris, haven't fitted the rear can yet, ordered the wrong tubing. Should have it in in the next week or 2. Front one has been on 2 weeks, but havent checked for any build up on there yet, only done 200kms.

      @Chris, that place I got my piping from in Lakeside is definitely worth a look, the lads in there knew exactly what I was after and how it would be used. Il be going back if/when I fit a rear OCC and if/when I tidy up the routing for the front.

        Let me know what pipe you get Tch, and if it works. Thanks

        Nice one SFG, may take a look.

        Have I already asked which direction the flow is for rear PCV. Is it away from top of engine?

              What sort of pipe would you recommend for the rear PCV James, and can you use flexible re-inforced hosing, or silicone pre made (Reinforced) angles?
              Tch- did you have any luck with getting decent hosing

              If the tube closes up under vacuum, would it knacker the Turbo, or would it just "Not work"
              Gonna have a go and fit a rear Catch can soon

                I'll be following this thread closely as looking to do the same, so rear PCV strengthened hoses and no sighted occ to inlet manifold, exhaust breather occ with sight and can be fittted near the offside front light. Any photos of this fitted Chris?

                Thinking about fitting the rear OCC near the window fluid washer bottle on the top left of my photo :

                  did you ever manage to fit the rear can on? Can't see much space to fit the front can. The rear could be fitted near washer fluid bottle.

                    No. LOL. Almost mirrors the post I just left in response to you on another thread

                    Front can is OK. Problem with the rear is dependant on the pipe coming out the rocker cover/ angles etc.

                    PM me your email and I can send a photo if you like

                    Ed- thing is about catch cans, they don't resolve the issues. Jamie (On here) has them fitted and still had to walnut blast his own motor. Mine went in on 18,800 miles for inlet valves treatment and had a can (On front) for previous 7k miles....

                      Plenty of room to fit the front.

                              Drained this from my rear can yesterday.
                              Absolutely nothing in the front can.

                                Its a good can. he supplies the pipe too, but not the bracket, although he wants me to give details of the bracket so he can set up a kit
                                Bit of a late question, but Chris, do you still have the details of that guy? My car will be out of warranty at the end of next week, so it's time to look for a catch can
