The centre breather outlet would foul the charge carrier

Both really beautiful cars looks so nice! Gus I remember seeing your s1 in fast ford last year I believe? What modifications do you think I'll have to make to the rocker cover to allow the charge carrier to run over the top just relocate the centre oil breather? My mate only wants 65quid for it and I personally think they look 10times better. I'd like to reposition the throttle body looks great!

A lot or the breather outlet would need to be removed

You will have to drill an tap to secure charge carrier


Not too sure really as been along time since I had the original set up

Suppose I could get the centre oil breather relocated to the left end of the cover like the original cover is

IIRC, the fins on the RSi rocker cover are too tall and alot of material through the centre of the cover needs to e removed. Much easier with a bespoke or modified plenum.
