You do NOT have to put a hole in the top of your camcover.

I thought it was better not to do that m8.

Give me a few minutes and I'll try to dig something up about the fitment of my Bailey mirror image tank.

The part supplied by Bailey which they claim is the oil return. Well, it isn't.


The bung needed to remove under the turbo


The part I got to replace the standard breather


The part made up for the turbo side to breath


Don't know about the Bailey kit. They do NOT supply the right fittings to install it correctly. Had to make up my own and the car is STILL at the garage at the moment as they do not seem to find any time to work on it.

well looking at the post by Dave,you need the hole in the top for a 4 port system.

i must of always had the 4 port system.

Not sure if the mirror image tank is a 4 port but my mate has one and his has a hole in the rocker cover.

this may help.
