Cheers mate.... So the top 2.... 1 goes cam cover and other to old kidney box..?
Bottom small to off side block...? And big to vent to atmosphere....
So do I just need 2 adaptors 1 for cam cover and one for block..?

If the small one is your return on your tank you should have that going to your sump below oil level.
If you put it to the block under turbo that won't allow the oil to drain properly because the block will be blowing from there so that is a breather.

Not a problem Mat! 
That was the fitting that came in the fitting kit from Bailey Motorsport, they may be able to supply you with a fitting separate maybe?
I came across some black silicone fluorolined hose I bought for the breather when I had it but it's no good to me now, do you want it for your car? I don't want anything for it.

How about not returning to sump at all....?
And keep a close eye on the tank naturally
I will try this as a test, bacuse when dismantling my previous breather setup, I found that some white residue was inside the breather hoses. I put it down to condensation from when the hot oil vapour comes in contact with the cold hoses, and from when the car cools after a run. I really don't want this residue in my oil.
any view on this ?

My breather gos back to the sump on the turbo side about 6 inch's back from where the turbo ruturns its oil to the sump! plus mine also breaths from the kidny box and the rocker cover plus also has a catch tank that i can drain that catches all the shity condensated oil casued by not getting the oil hot enough on short journeys

Personally, depending on how heavily the engine breathes, if there is minimal liquid oil collecting, i'd not bother returning to the sump. If the engine breathes heavily then it becomes a requirement to return. I know of a couple of huge power Evos that can put over a litre of oil into the breather in a single drag pass!

Aluminium breather tanks have a habit of forming condensation overnight when they get cold which generates moisture. Once this moisture mixes with the oil then yes, you see an emulsion. If returned to the sump, oil temps when running correctly will be around 110 degrees celcius, sufficient to evaporate this moisture away.

Personally experience because of driving style or the breather setup I see a little "emulsion" So with the risk of a chunk of this, being returned to the sump, I prefer not to return at all.
It also saves me from using a separtor, and having two hoses on the inlet side.
but a litre in one pass...

Thats my point - I mean who doesn't check the oil level very regularly on a cossie anyway? - I check almost on every morning startup, and if driven hard, I definately do it before next startup.
