cheers
I'm building the car back up at the minute but with a GT4076 this time along with some other parts - the breather system is a 5 port system that plumbed 2x catch tank, 1x sump, inlet side block & ex side block - may be fitting an oil cooler and remote filter kit - i just want it right for when it goes back together - the guestimated power should be above 450bhp running high boost so want to make sure the oil and flow is good.
