Hi guys,
Just recieved my new intercooler,hard pipe kit,header tank and oil breather.
Just wondered if anyone knows or has any pics of how to fit the breather.

Got all my pro alloy stuff to fit too, great quality stuff!
From memory it's a pretty easy job, the breather bolts in the same place as the crappy steel one, the large pipe that came in the kit hangs out the bottom of the floor pan (venting to atmosphere and needs a cable tie to keep it in place) and you need to blank off the hole that's left in the air inlet pipe (pipe from air filter to turbo). I think that's about it but you should see where everything goes once you get started. Then take a look inside your old catch tank to see how much rust and crap is in there.

I guess they only keep a small stock of each item as there can't be much of a demand, but trust me their stuff is worth the wait! I ordered a header tank a couple of weeks back to add to the pro-alloy collection and it arrived next day and I'm really pleased with it. lick

Me too. Apparently they were fabricating a batch this week and they told me they should be dispatching them by early next week.

Hi Jason,
Did you get a fitting diagram with yours?
I don't think the hard pipe kit allows you to refit the breather pipe anyway.
When are you planning on fitting yours I could pop over and get you to fit mine Lol wink

No I didn't get any instructions I just went with what was said on the forum at the time of the group buy. I'll be fitting all my bits in about a months time as the cars in the middle of a strip down and clean up, so if youve not fitted it by then feel free to come over. I'm sure you'll be fine once you get started.

Speaking of proalloy bits if anybody has a spare radiator and is going to Jetstream tomorrow I'll be very appreciative! It's never good news when something goes wrong !!

What kind of percentage discount was it. I've only ordered the breather so far. Could be tempted....

Just got home and mines sat here waiting smile

No blanking plug in with it all though. Not sure whats so hard about ordering things from places. First lot of gear box oil was wrong and now this. Thankfully ive bought a load of intake pipe so i dont need it as i just wont put that t-piece in (as long as i have enough) but thats not really the point.
