Mike, LOL @ "chip mode" but if YOU bothered to read it, you would see id already acknowledged understanding of the "oil problem" further up anyway
. So I thought I would reply how you would if it was anyone else saying that .But what I did do was I instead posted after, "correcting" myself that if some muppet wants to run around with an inlet full of oil, then I can see the value in not wanting the map sensor full of it too.
I wasnt about to go back and edit the post where I was "wrong" as I figured that if people read that, then read trev explaining his problem to me, then me acknowleding it, it would be a FAR better learning tool for them, and highlight the breather issue better than if I went sneaking around editing my posts pretending not to have said something in "mike mode"
, thats not my style at all, if I miss something im quite happy to have it pointed out to me, its all part of the learning process, even if all Im learning here is how silly some other people are with their engines breathers its still useful to me cause at some point I'll probably be helping someone out with their engine who has the same issues.

I have air temp and my boost sensor on the bottom and have had both out recently with NO oil contamination what so ever.
I dont have the prob with the map sensor line as my map sensor is in the ECU col.

They are 180 quid IIRC, and they also save you have to buy a plenum cover gasket, not to mention the fact it then guarentees you will NEVER need to buy a plenum cover gasket again, or ever be let down by one failing.
Si B's ones are essentially the same as a swedish one from Mike, but are made in stainless which is easier to keep polished and minty looking than ally.

Si B is larger, it was only the garage19 one i was saying was the same size (or near as damn it)
I take it richies turbo seals have gone to get that much oil in the plenum?
and for those of you who saw it at donny its not exactly a smokey old dog with blow turbo seals?

my breather works very well, and does not connect to the manifold in any way....
MAYBE the reason some of you dont have oil in your plenums is because you either drive like girls,or do about 25miles a year...... i do over 25K miles a year...and the car will do at least 130mph every day.
stripped my inlet down and no oil in it
