General oil catch tank
Alright Ant, Mate i paid £40 for mine second hand so £29 is a decent price for one and i would say its definately worth having it as it can save your turbo if crank case pressure gets too high as it will collect all the crap out and let your engine "breath" so to speak.

I bought one from ebay a couple of days ago, worth the money if you have it spare.

yeh defo get one chap. if you've raised the boost pressure (which you would've ) chances are you'll push more cr4p out the crankcase breather pipe. the last thing you want is oil particles going thru ur turbo.....
even if you havent got oil coming thru that pipe you still dont really want the hot vapour from the engine going into the intake system - which you should be tryin to keep cool as possible.
PLUS - extra bling points from the maccy d's crew
at the very least buy a small crankcase breather filter for a fiver.

Use flexible silicon hoses, samco or the like and route them anywhere it really is just common sense to be honest and every catch tank will be slightly differnt to fit. Buy the tank, find the location and decide the orientation before then looking at to what length piping you require.
