Sorry, i know this has probably been done to death but just a couple of questions.

I'm planning on fitting one, been looking around for the correct hoses to do the job.

I'm thinking about a 90 degree from the turbo then i seen a metal 45 with breather outlet on E-bay to take it to the AFM.

What i dont know is if the 45 would do the job or if i'm goin to need a 90 instead.

Can anyone help me out with this? or any thoughts?

thanks in advance.

Hi. I'm not able to help really, but i'm thinking of doing the same mod and was wondering if u have a link for the metal pipe on ebay?

Thanks

90 is best, but im sure it could be done with a 45

I used a 45 and its too tight really.

I put a post up the other day showing whats needed.

It was a metal 90 degree pipe with breather outlet, 57-67 90 degree and thats it as you can use the off cut from the 57-67 to join the other end of the pipe to the AFM.

No need to, as he is fitting it to a Z20LET engine, so is more related to Turbos than dervs IMO
