Default What oil breather setup?

ok, i think i need to get myself a nice shiny breather.

i've got 2 breathers on the cr at the mment, one from each rocker cover.

currently one side breathes straight to atmos, and the other side vents back to the plenum (via a 1 way valve)

now, its obviously breathing a bit as i'm getting oily residue from the breather in the plenum, so i want to vent this out somewhere.

now, rather than just venting both to atmosphere and having greenpeace on my case, i was thinking of a cossie oil breather.

but will this be ok for my application? ie has it got the tight number of ins/outs

also re: oil returns, my car currently has 2 oil pipes going from each head down to the sump (some sort of return) could i just T off of this and run that as the oil return from the breather?

so i'd have:
2x IN (1 from each head)
1x Return to Sump
1x Breathes to atmos (i expect that they all have this on?)


also, which one to buy, and where from? i dont fancy spending too much, and i dont fancy bling one, i just want something functional

oh and one other question... what bore pipe is the hose you use for this sort of thing (as i'm buying some at the moment but dont know which diameter to get... lol)
