As you'll see earlier in the thread, this is what I thought I was buying... "low pressure" was definitely not what turned up!
Way off topic, but it turns out New South Wales was officially the hottest place on Earth yesterday... :crying:It's done!
It's been a long, and bloody hot (46°C) day. Happy snaps tomorrow!
Hey Pete... I found this...will it work?I'm going to go poke around a local wreckers that lets you pull your own parts and see what I can find in way of a moulded PCV hose (I'll then go to a dealer and order a new part of course!).
Great find! Definitely looks like it'll fit the bill; it's ID ~19 mm, oil resistant, looks to be relatively thin walled, and can handle tight radius' due to the support of the helix wire.Hey Pete... I found this...will it work?

I've doubled checked with Flashlube, who've replied that they contacted their manufacturer in Germany and can confirm that the unit has been tested to be 100% efficient at 220 lpm.Everything you want to know about Catch cans. I may go with this can, the Mann PreVent 200. Looks like it has everything I need. Now to go find some 3/4" 19mm oil resistance hose.

Pete, I share your practice of using highly rated material, but wouldn't your connections blow off, or even burst the seals on the can at 4000psi?I'm not entirely satisfied with the hose solution. The issue is finding ID 19mm hose that's oil resistant, but also not rated to 4,000 psi!
SNIP!
The search continues...
Just to get this back on track, Pete is looking for a hose that is not rated to 4000 psi.Pete, I share your practice of using highly rated material, but wouldn't your connections blow off, or even burst the seals on the can at 4000psi?

Yes... I found it:::Just to get this back on track, Pete is looking for a hose that is not rated to 4000 psi.
If you're interested in the Flashlube then once we've sorted the hosing out (for NA it looks like Bill has that one covered) I'll post up a complete list of parts, together with online suppliers, if that helps?So are any of the venders going to offer a complete kit for us to buy?
I think I'll just pay for the cruise, it'd probably be cheaper...Yes... I found it:::

It is exactly what we need... it is exactly what Pete needs, but the cost to send to Australia is prohibited... unless anyone of us taking a trip to Australia and can bring him a 10' Section...
I'm trying the talk my wife into a cruise, but she is balking at the price...Oh Well.

It appears from posts on this forum that members are seeing oil in the turbo intake regardless of any modifications they have done or not done. This indicates that either these engines are experiencing excessive blow-by or the factory oil separator is insufficient. Excessive oil in the intake stream can result in deposits in the intake manifold/ports over time. If you are planning on keeping the car for a long time, and putting a lot of miles on it, you can avoid/limit these deposits by installing a catch can. If you are going to trade it in after a few years, you can leave the issue to the next guy.I just read through this entire thread and have but one question: if I am not making any performance upgrades to my engine (which I think some/most of you writing here have done), is this catch can system something I should still consider installing, or is it an unnecessary expense?
Thanks,
Steve.
Just to add in a note to John's post, this isn't unique to the 124, other platforms using the 1.4l MA turbo have the same issue...It appears from posts on this forum...

I would suggest that you remove the intake hose from between the air box and the turbo and see if there is any oil in the throat of the turbo. If there is not, no catch can is needed. If there is oil there, you might consider a catch can.
No, we mean the throat of the turbo, exactly what he showed in his photos. I found a small puddle of oil sitting in the inlet to the turbo from my stock air intake when I installed my V1 intake.Maybe they mean the DV inlet on the turbo compressor housing? I also though the oil also gathers in the intercooler piping and core.
