The +4 Supersport has the catch tank system as per SteveT s posting with a release tap for any fluids.
Never had to drain.

Hi

I have just got a GDI and would appreciate if some photos could be posted as this mod does sound like a great idea

Cheers

Yes, I‘m interested about the modification.

Steve, I would be very interested in pictures and a short step-by-step explanation of that operation! All I could find about this topic was your thread Little jobs and another one by his highness DaveW about the GDI Oil breather.

I fitted one of these using a short straight hose into the cam cover, and the existing hose onto the other side.

Dave, I like the look of this Crankcase Breather Filter.
Is this instead of an oil catch tank, something I've held off from as many seem to say they never have to empty.

If its just a simple insert in the current breather sounds like a simple plan !

Exactly that Tim. I had a catch tank initially, but when I fitted the AR manifold it wouldn't fit. So this was my alternative.

And it looks "original" grin2
