Kevin does not like the sapphs he prefers the 1.3 L sierra with the pinto 16 valve turbo engine in and the chav rear spoiler so the walnut bits wouldn't fit kev prefers the genuine 24 carrot plastic and card board

So i am right about your breather lots of pretty pipes and tanks and only one out perfect restrictor bet your crankcase pressure is higher than your boost pressure bet most of the contents of your sump end up in your catch tank do you have to drain it every time you use it

Umm.........

It's got a seperator for each of the 2 breather ports (below inlet & below turbo), then out let from each seperator to the catch tank which has a vent to atmosphere pipe & each seperator has it's own return to the sump !

Is that okay ? ? ? lol

so lots of pipes and tanks connected to the engine and just one to atmosphere ?
that would be like having a 4inch exhaust system with a 2 inch tail pipe
