I have this set up from Green On Engineering. Bolts to the EFI manifolds and Tees into the block to head breather. I think the neatest solution.

looks nice mate, does it have a pick up for the 2 little breather pipes that come off the top in the inlet manifold by the fuel rail? Had a quick look on there site is that the one for efi escort? Hard to tell on there website if it picks those up aswell?
thanks
