Fitting oil catch tank

[dipsy]

Would fitting oil catch tank stop the oil from the breather on crankcase to the intake its an my2000 turbo fulldecat ecutek2 exchange because i think this is causeing my boost problems .I have cleaned solenoid pipes before plus i checked breather pipes and cleaned the crankcase to intake was the worst so cleaned with carb cleaner ie i took pipe of to do this stuck pipe back on took for a drive did this lot couple of weekends ago perect held boost no fluctuation.But yesterday the boost problem came back i checked this same breather pipe oily again.I am wondering would fitting oil catch tank solve this any ideas please

how is ur oil. if there is 2 much oil it can cause over boosting and oil in the pipe works.

i had the same prob with my 97 uk turbo.

on the pic where it got the 4QT is where the oil should be when cold

hope this helps

Dipsy I have some reading on catch can/PCV systems if you want me to send it via PM?

Dont want to be pedantic but it is PCV, which stands for Positive Crankcase Ventilation. This is the system that Subaru uses to replace the old crankcase gases with fresh air from the induction.

Unless you are referring to replacement double glazing, in which case i apoligise.

I can do windows if required.

Edited for being so silly.

Think this is something that would help, am sure Youngo (P1SUB) fitted one of these, try PM'ing him and he'll tell you for def mate

I read stuff regarding breather system on andy forrest web site. He writes that the crankcase breather can cauase these problems

Grant - the PCV allows the Crankcase oil vapours to be "sucked out" of the Crankcase and into the Inlet Manifold (on idle) but on boost this valve closes (otherwise you'll get 1.2 bar of boost pressure blowing out all the seals!).

I would consider attaching the Crankcase breather with the Cam breathers to the Oil Catch Can. remember to blank off the PCV or fit a 2" peice of hose with a blank on it onto the PCV.
