I honestly would mate if it wasn't for three reasons:
1. My digital camera is absolutely pony
2. Got to collect additional parts yet (i.e: 12mm t-piece to connect cam breather hoses together & 1/4" bsp bolt to plug psv valve hole, & I ordered the extra 15mm outlet so need different hoses e.t.c.)
3. It will be several weeks before I do it due to doing upgrades all in one go which makes life a lot easier (manifold off to fit parallel rails, insulating spacers, uprated injectors, sx fpr, silicone intake elbow & catch tank)
If you're not in a rush I will take some slightly fuzzy pics. & post them up as I do it. I have been out to the garage already to decide where to put it: will probably be on passenger side just behind fuel filter but a bit lower down as loads of space there. Another plus for that location is any possible odours are away from the driver's side as it will be VTA!

Started fitting mine, then it started getting dark.
Have moved the boost solonoid and my greedy boost controller and mounted the catch can. Just got the plumbing left to do now. Took a few pictures while i was doing it so i will post them all up when its all finished

Well this is my install thanks to https://www.scoobynet.com/general-te...od-advice.html
The vent pipe, make sure you really get this out off the way as mine bloody stinks and i had to reposition it. Not great pics but i thought i would share.

If you mean the PCV valve then I'm taking it out & putting a blanking plug in after reading all the numerous threads on this.
It seems like there is always two sides to the debate on the PCV valve, when fitting a catch tank - I will summarise my findings from what others have written (who knows what's best?!):
1. Take it out & put blanking plug in (same as leaving it in the manifold but blank hose off that goes to it) - you could be lowering the fuel's octane rating slightly at higher throttle
2. Leave it in & connected - then what's the point of having a catch can as all the rubbish is still going in the inlet from the PCV
I've decided to remove it for three reasons: noone has ever mentioned it affecting the running, I always use a little octane booster every time I fill-up anyway & I don't like the idea of having to clean my inlet/pipework as they take more than a couple of minutes to remove!
At the end of the day, it's best to read all the threads on this topic & decide for yourself what to do.
