A baffled catch inc pipe and delivery for £35 as got to be good value (baffled means it actually works unlike most for sale that just move oily vapour about)

OK afew more pics as requested
I've marked on the pic the inlets / outlets the tank is fed via 16mm hose into 2x inlets 1 from the crankcase breather which runs along behind the inlet manifold and the second from the cylinder head / rocker cover vents the fed for these is taken from the metal link pipe under the inlet manifold, the vapour then passes through the catch can and exits through the single 16mm outlet on the side, this is currently venting to air into the inner wing area but could easily be plumbed back to the airbox or inlet tract.
What makes this tank different and better than most is that the inside of the tank is divided into 2 compartments by a partially perforated internal baffle this this along with some S/S wool essentially traps the oil in the vapour as it passes through, this is particularly important if the tank is plumbed back to the inlet tract, an un-baffled tank is not very good at separating the oil from the air and doesn’t catch it in the way the name 'oil catch tank' suggests.Also using 16mm fitting makes installation a doddle because they fit on to the existing engine outlet pipes, so no need for 'T' pieces and pipe sleeves.
I've now removed it from the car so here are afew more pics of it .

yes mate now sold but to answer your question 'what is to be gained basically the 3 port solenoid provides better boost control than a 2 port but does require a mapping change to suit, the oil catch tank diverts the crankcase breather system through the can this catches and seperates the oil in the vapour stopping it been feed back into thr inlet tract, tanks are either vented to air or plumbed back like the OE system, the benefit of this is it avoids the chance of the oil in the vapour changing the octane rating of the fuel ( worst case on a worn engine ) and it stops enevitable build up of oil in the inlet, intercooler etc hope this helps
