My less than clever approach is to mount the breather on the strut brace mount:


You have space in the same location.

Because yours is a left hooker the space most people use is filled with your brake resivoir but on the turbo side of the engine on the bulk head in line with the turbo should be a captive nut which could probably use, it would meanthat you will probably need longer pipes than most to reach the appropiate places on the engine and ensure you also insulate from the turbo heat.

the pipes is no problem, I have some samco's to do the job
but ideed the head of the turbo will be the major problem of putting there
I can put it behind the turbo head shield but then I need a new head schield, maybe on of a escort cossie or I was thinking a spec-r one maybe

somebody have fit a spec-r? or something else aftermarket?
pics please
