Recently I noticed a few people running the hose from there catch cans down to the sump below where the oil return is for the turbo..
Can any explain the difference to doing this as apposed to running it into the air intake before the turbo?

Attachment 60297I don't put dirty oil back in the sump I drain the catch can into a bottle from a tap under the car
Have you plumbed the vapours back into the intake?Quote:

I think it's the vapours that Jonathan is talking about.Quote:

Having the catch can in place stops all of that nasty, oily air getting back into your inlet manifold and clogging it all up.
Some people choose to take the condensed air and feed it back into the sump (the provent needs an additional non-return valve if you do this), other people just put a tap on there and drain it occasionally.
Could be but its usually black in the can and clean on the dip stickQuote:

I'm with Roofy on this one. On my 3L patrol I had this setup. Catch the oil and dispose of it. Tap in the wheel arch.
The oil out of the can was black and thicker than the oil out of the sump at oil changes... Don't know why it is so.
To answer BA's original question.... Have no clue lol.
Hey guys, where are you all mounting the Provent, I am having a bugger of a time finding a spot to put it
