breather filter
 

is it better to run a breather filter or just weld in a piece of pipe to the chrage pipe after the bov and attach the line from the valve cover to it. i want the car to be safe seeing as how it is my only car and not to mention im poor

Before I setup a catch can I just ran a hose from the valve to the ground.

you dont want a line from the valve cover to the charge piping on a boosted motor. run the line to a catch can and then the intake side of the turbo.
or use a breather filter.

set it up like this, it's how i did mine.
This is a DIY oil catch can with a sight tube.

I made this catch can with a 7 inch long 2" id pvc tube.
It cost $1.30 at home depot, they sell it by the foot if you don't wanna buy the 10ft tube they'll cut it for you.
The top and bottom are caps for 2" pvc tube .88 each.
the fittings are the small vacuume fittings for the oil viewer but i had some and didn't feel like buying 90 degree vacuume fittings so i just cut 2 Ts' and plugged the hole with jb weld.
As you can see I drilled a hole at the bottom of the container after I glued the bottom cap to the longer tube with some jb weld, not a whole lot, just a light film around the inside of the cap, not the tube.
Then I measured how much of the clear plastic drinking water tube I needed after I installed and glued the 2 90 deg. fittings. Put glue in the holes you drilled in the pvc tube for the fittings so there's something in there to seal it, and glue around the outside hole too.
For the top I just drilled one hole 3/8" and trimmed it some so the 3/8" to 1/4" T would fit. jb weld that in there too for a good seal.
oh, all I paid for this was .88 x 2 for the caps and 1.30 for the pvc tube. and you can never have too much jb weld so I bought some of that too $3.99 I think it was? :-\ plus the fittings that I already had, along with the hoses that I had.
