Any chance of a link please?

And do you reckon it will damage my engine to run it without the filter atm?

Cheers, Jack.

you dont really need one. i have a pipe going into a bottle to catch any oil that might come out. so far its dry

Good clear thread mate. Pictures work well. One small adjustment i would make is take out the middle section of the cold air feed as it is just a restrictor....replace it with aluminium flexi pipe as it will let that baby breathe properly!

I took this off a long time ago but if I was going to leave it on I would of put together some tubing for a cold air feed.

Just looked on the last picture...

I cba to read the full thread so ignore me if its been mentioned, but...

have you blocked the pipe that the oil breather used to connect too on the air intake part? Where you removed the pipe from the engine and replaced with a breather... what have you put on the other part that it originally connected to?

Otherwise you'll be sucking shit in through that to the engine and defeats the point?

As I said, if it's been covered then fair cop

Ok so might sound stupid and I know this is old thread but the stock oil breather has a pipe connected to it that connects to the engine right? Do I just take it off or what? I can see it in pictures
