Was going order one of these yesterday but can't make up my mind whether to get one with a breather or whether to get a completely sealed one?
Anyone got any ideas?

if its an oil catch tank id say pointless unless your going drifting haha
Catch tanks are normally fitted to dry-sump engines such as those found in Drift cars. Any advantage they may give to a low mileage/capacity/power, regularly serviced family hatchback will be negligable....other than add a bit of bling!. A point reinforced by the fact that no manufacturer fits them as standard to their run of the mill engines.
If oily fumes are becoming a problem and affecting the way the engine runs shouldnt you be looking for the root cause and attempting to prevent it at source......... rather than fitting a catch tank?

Engine runs fine as I said in another post I'm a bit of a geek for fine tuning engine efficiency.
I'm planning a catch tank, iridium plugs, high efficiency oil filter, and a magnetic filter trap so far. On the plus side it save cleaning out the throttle body every so often.
"fine tuning" If your talking nano performance improvements start by ripping out your backs seat and anything else that weighs more than 2grams. or..... not worry about it and save your money. you dont "need" a catcher and you wont notice any difference when you get it. Money better spend in your pocket but thats just my opinion.
just fell off the freakin sofa laffinDon't forget to have a sh*t before setting off on your journey too.
With all these "I am gonna do this" and "I am gonna do that threads" there is a risk of you becoming another......errr.....you-know-who
I think its pretty safe to assume that Fiat in their infinate wisdom will have taken every practical and reasonable step possible to ensure their designs attain the maximum mpg before releasing them for sale. If by "bolting on" some cheap accessory or by carrying out some cheap mod any beneficial increase is obtained they would be doing it themselves.........it is after all in their own interest to.
