the problem is that it spits oil out as i found out from my k&n 57i as the breathers went into the bottom of that and when i took it off it was saturated with oil!8080 wrote:Oh it must be OK then, perhaps the air pressure in that elbow takes care of the problem.

I couldn't find that as a separate part on ETKA. I'll be reluctant to butcher my airbox if I do get round to getting a BMC. Might shelve that plan for the moment. I've seen some people with a open breather connection on their elbow, next to the TB, won't do that anyway...
Fitted BMC
My k&n was exactly the same bud, full of oil!! The k&n was crap.....ended up as an adivsory for my mot as an oil leak and the seal around the throttle body cracked! Peice of s**t and not a good idea!stani540 wrote:the problem is that it spits oil out as i found out from my k&n 57i as the breathers went into the bottom of that and when i took it off it was saturated with oil!8080 wrote:Oh it must be OK then, perhaps the air pressure in that elbow takes care of the problem.

it took me about 30 mins and thats including fabricating a metal bracket and trimming the silicone down to size!CymruPolo wrote:How hard are these to fit? I've had mine sitting in the garage for months lol.
for the gti you get everything with the kit that you need so shouldn't take long.
I bought my filter seperately so had to source all the bits i needed!
in short it should be pretty easy alun
did you get the gti kit from bmc with the 90 degree elbow and breather?CymruPolo wrote:Hmm, I might have to give it a go then. I was suppose to go and see Prash off here to give me a hand, but I haven't seen him online for ages so I dunno if I still could.
if you did all you need to do is take off the engine cover which i believe has the air filter in unplug the breather aswell! then just attach the 90 degree bend to the bmc and the throttle body with jubilee clips, then attach the bracket to the bmc and attach it to the engine somehow! and simply attach the cold air feed and breather easy!!
well i literally just got the filter second hand then had to piece together a kit:
filter
Silicon hoses from sfs
jubilee clips from my local car shop
cold air feed from my old k&n
metal bracket from focus
and breathers from ebay!
i think you will find it easy
the cold air feed is literally a jubilee clip and then put it somewhere to collect cold air!
