You can get a BMC CDA on the 1.0L engine, as shown on this guide:

I was thinking of doing it a while back

The diameter of the TB is 50mm.

Hope this helps.

the breather pipes are not supposed to leak oil as far as i know. i fashioned a diy carbon enclosed kit for my 1.4 and used a normal breather filter and i havent had any problems with oil coming out... its just fumes that are supposed to recirculate into the TB.

your main problem is the foul smelling smell of petrol fumes going into the car as this would be taken in by the ventilation system if youve got your recirculating button off on the dash.
