what is the various opinions on the oil catch tank top breather looping back into the air intake pie that connects to the turbo at the front as thinking on taking this out and filtering at the top of the catch tank instead as i feel this may be a better option any one done this

hi tux shud have said in my first post ive copyed the original catch tank but made it up in stainless steel and heat treated it to give it a bluey silver look so i have no worries on corosion aspect but i will have a look at pro alloy to see how they vent as my first attemp at filtering failed and the car wouldnt rev it seems to need the draw of air to run properly

The pro alloy one just vents to atmos and they supply a bung for the old air inlet , your tank sounds nice !!!
