Spec-r do a twin pot system designed by mark I think that breathes from rocker both sides on the block returns to the sump via a one way valve and vents to atmosphere. Not cheap plus it sits wear the battery lives

When you guys say the systems you have are no good, what makes you say this?

I had the twin pot Spec-r system it was designed originally for my car to cope with 850+bhp it worked when previous systems did not. If you want better fit a dry sump system then you don't require a breather system.

That is not correct
On a dry sumped turbo engine you will
Require a breather as you will get blow
