Default Air/oil separator breather tank

Anyone using a breather tank for the air/oil separator?
I was wondering if you get fumes from it??
Am thinking of getting the Lindsey kit.
Is it bolt on or do you have to modify the air/oil separator?
Thanks

I made my own for like $20. Many guy have got a cheap unit from Jegs or the Greddy one if you want to recirculate it. Here is a pic or two of mine. No fumes at all to speak of. There is already a number threads on this by the way.

Well I already had the filter, so add that to the price to be accurate.

Your main issue will be whether to vent to ATM or not. Thats going to be your own judgement call I am afraid!

Someone posted pics recently of their setup using one of the filter canisters for heavy duty air compressors. Just an alternative.

Ever see oil in your IC pipes? Intake manifold? This oil reduces the effective octane rating of the fuel. Seriously do a search, much information on this...
