Default oil breater seperator ????

aye folks,i am doing a stage 3 tune on my 3dr`s yb and am having trouble working out where the pipework runs to and from,i have a breather with 4 ports (2 low down on side 1 at the top on the side and one on the top) of the seperator,now i know one is from a hole in the cam cover,one goes to the catch tank,the only other pipe i see is from the "kidney box" between the block and plenumn,i was told i remove this and insert an adaptor,no problem.but this leaves a pipe that goes to the plenumn and one spare port to pipe up on the seperator,please can someone shed some light as its doing my tree in!!!

make sure you re-wire the fuel pump with a direct feed from the battery to make sure it draws the correct voltage while on full chat
