Note - This is assuming you do not have aircon When installing this I had the radiator removed and nothing in the engine bay but this will not become a problem even if you have the radiator in. I would also suggest jacking the car up and putting jack stands under it at the start of this proc...")

The instructions are relevant to turbo or NA engines. After studying the emissions diagram in the workshop manual I decided on the best way of mounting the catch can. First off, find a suitable place to mount your catch can. I found a space between my fuel filter and master cylinder. My catch can is a autopro "type X" brand one, I chose it because it has a very large opening on one end. It came with 2 small fit...")

(within reason) If you want to make sure that the air going to the filter is extra cold, you can create a cold air intake by fabricating something (ag pipe or similar) to direct the cool air straight from the front of the car to the filter.

Remember to take care when working around fuel. An estimated time for this procedure is about 4 hours taking it easy.

This does not affect the plastic at all! With all screws and that useless strip of black plastic removed, soak the edges of the lens cover in turps.

Other seams in the body are sealed with some kind of sealant that reacts very badly to water.
