Default Installing LR Breather Tank..

I'm about to install this "breather tank" from LR, but don't know where the hose that's currently coming from the O/A separator that feeds back into the intake goes. What do you do with this open line? If anyone has any pics or can outline the process, I would appreciate it. Thanks in advance

When I use to have an LR breather on my car I had removed that entire hard vapor line setup that also has the wastegate lines on it, and had a metal plug in the J-Boot to fill that hole.

944 CS - why do you say this, what's with the saiku michi can? Do you have experience wit the LR product? is it an inferior product?

yeah the saiku michi can is awsome. Catches the oil then keeps vac on the system back to the Jboot or turbo inlet pipe. The lindsey piece w/ the atmostphere vent is pretty much like any jegs oil catch can from what ive seen.

I was considering a LR unit but after reading about the michi my mind has changed

LR users might want to consider...

A nice description you will find here

I also have a LR tank, lots of oil spill due to the atm. vent. Made it into a closed solution with a Moroso cap on top for a few dollars, now it works fine.

When I had the LR Breather on my car also, it seemed like I smelled heavily of fumes after driving it anywhere. It was even worse with the windows down. Now that I took it out, the fume smells have dropped dramatically.

i had a moroso catch can on my supra and made a custom cap w/ a fitting that recirculated back to the inlet for the turbo. Seemed to be much better than all the fume/spillage i had just vented.
