Got 2 large T's but no small ones.
Tone Loc - did you get 2 each of a large and a small can connector? One for each size of hose. I did. Same problem with hose, also was badly kinked but running if for 2 days has straightened it out ( heat I guess. )
I too will be buying longer hose for a decent proper install, currently plugged into ends of pipes at inlet pipe to catch can, vent to atmos, used a bit of hose to join the2 inlet pipe holes!
Not sure who useful mounting bracket is!
Any hope of some bungs for the 2 inlet pipe holes please?
Can is Ok though, and for the price a good shot!

Join these 2 hoses using a T and send to 1 connector on can. Other can connector either vert to amos the clean ( but likely part burnt air? ) or pipe back to one of the 2 holes you now have on the inlet. Block other hole on inlet.
Mount can somewhere
Done!

I would take the crankcase to the can and either leave the cam cover breather as is or have it open to atmos via a small K+N. Or drill nad tap another input to the catch can.

Appologes for the mix up with t-bits. The supplier has said he will sort them out once we all know what we need.
Please remember this is a univeral catch can kit and it is imposible to guess how much hose each person will want to use. It depends on where you mount the can etc.
I have been doing some planning and made a little trip to B&Q... If anyone is looking for extra hose, more t-pieces, alu pipe then B&Q have it all...
Alu tube = £2.60
Poly Tubing = £2.31 per meter
Poly Tubing Connectors (aka T-pieces) = £3 for two
Hose Clips = £6.26 for 20
This will give me enough parts to fit two cantch tanks with all ends connected up (not to atmospher)
I will be fitting my can as soon as I find some time to do a propper job and take pics for everyone.
Cheers,
Tim

Found some plugs for the inlet pipe now. Not sure how many I can get or how much each they are but could be useful. I'll try and put up a pic tomorrow!
Update : The plugs are called Suba seal, used in labs for sealing glassware for needle injections.
Seal tightly and fit well, size 33 and 24 I got fit the 2 holes just nice, clipped the roll back double seal to make extra sure they are air tight.

Tim, I misread the post. I though people were asking what they got with their kit. I have 2 large T's. Won't know if I require any more until I come to fit it, at which time I will pay B&Q a vist if need be.
Sorry for the mix up.
Cheers for putting this together.

Spent the day looking around the local B+Q Superstore for some 15mm tubing like what is supplied with the kit.....nothing. Asked them too and they looked at me as if i was stupid. They had some reals of blue and green stuff @ £10 
I can get some 15mm from Demon Tweeks etc but that with postage will set me back near £10 too..... i really thought this was descibed as a full kit for the Impreza. So we have a 15mm cankcase breather and are supplied with 12mm hose
. I could try to force it on but it's hard enough trying to get it on the 12mm tails on the can.
Not impressed really..... we could have been warned that extra expense was needed and it was NOT a full kit for the scooby. Not a gripe at you Tim as you have done a great job of organising.
