I'd go for this one http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=130257671037 plus bin the hose you get with it and use reinforced rubber hose like petrol or oil hose or get reinforced silicon hose.

Most catch tanks you will come across are useless unless you baffle it.

I must admit I do like the look of the carbon one and it is also baffled so may have to order it ...

When you fit it you'll find the inlet on the top need an O ring to seal it

Anyone had oil in theirs ?

Yep. I can see the little clear tube a light brown colour with the car running. Really should check and see how much oil is in there. Stamford had a post a while back and it showed how much oil was in his catch tank - quite a bit in the bottom of a jam jar... :ohmy:

Hi yes very easy to fit.

The hole was already there from the old air filter i think.

All I had to the do was remove a small section of pipe and connect the new blue piepes to the two remaining ends (hope that makes sense).

Anyway easy mod....

Looks cool mate(i would say that I have the same one lol)
I think you need to swap the pipes over on the tank end though.
The top connector on the tank drops down to the gauze to keep the incoming oil separate from the outlet

Looking good mate. On the subject of oil in the catch tank i hadn't emptied mine for about 6-8 months so decided it was time. I have the alloy one from moto-build if you've seen what thats lkie. It's quite a big tank and it was just under half full of gunkie oil.Just think all that moving on to your VIS motors. I know the plenum is supposed to get slight lubrication from that system but come on, lets not take the P### eh.lol
