So this easy to fit system works great the car feels more responsive but only slightly in my opinion.it won't gain any power but it does let the engine run cleaner!

I removed the pollen filter and tray then i removed the back bulk head cover which allowed me to remove the plastic cover near the fuse box.
I measured up where i want the tank to sit then drilled the holes and bolted the bracket in.i had to bend the bracket slightly to accommodate the tank.
Fitted the cover back then the bulk head cover.
I had to elongate a hole to accommodate the pipe work so i moved the wire further down so i could use its recess to fit the pipes.once done i fitted back the pollen filter so that i could run the pipes accordingly.the plastic pipe that sits on the plenum to rocker cover i had to cut so i could use the ends.i bolted the pipes to the tank ran them into the engine bay and cut to the length i wanted.inserted the fittings clipped them on tightened up the fittings tank side all done!!

Adam, well done mate. This will keep the gunk out. You should have seen the crap I cleaned out of my Radium catch can last week. Forgot to take a pic. Sorry. It was Brown and slimey lol.

Did you get the remote drain? If not, is there anywhere to mount the tank so that this can be routed to enable ease of draining without having to remove the catch tank on a regular basis?

I wish you had mentioned you were doing this, I would have had one as well and maybe we could have got a good discount like we did on the coolers LOL.

My cars LHD and I have the catch can on it as they make a proper bracket for the LHD cars. I can post up my thread a little later on today so you guys can see its easy to unscrew the catch can bottom to empty the contents. If you got the drain kit that's also good.

Sorry mike i didn't know if anyone would be interested but i can set up a group buy and get all the brackets and correct fittings as well

Regards drain pepcock yes you can fit one and run it down to drain onto floor pan of you wanted mine is easy enough to remove where it is

Regards the bracket it needs to be bent slightly to accommodate the angle of the tank.
