kevin wrote:Except now you have oil also being collected in the centre of the modified filter by the stainless steel scrubber. I guess I don't completely understand how the oil gets from the filter to the drain - to me it looks like it travels down the filter and must make it way to the outside of the filter then over the bottom plate of the filter and drips into the collector at the bottom. I can't see what prevents some of that oil being sucked in by the return pipe?

Is there a risk of strands of the stainless getting through the system or will the mesh prevent this.
Also wondering if the provent filter can be washed as mentioned earlier, maybe kero etc. when car is serviced.

I took the hose off the end of the Provent and it was clean and dry but there was a fair amount of oil residue inside the pipe that joins the turbo to the intercooler. Does this mean my turbo seals are stuffed or is it normal to get a bit of blow-by Will see if its good now that i've modified the Provent? Time will tell.. I will check the hose again in a few weeks and see.

Yes, you guessed it, fit a provent and we still get a nice oil mist to the intake.

Is it really a result of backpressure or just oil pressure causing the weap?
I'm just a bit sceptical of this whole thread...

Has anybody pulled out the filter' recapped it, and blown through the hose to see how restrictive it is then....bet the flow is pretty good.

I did just that, and now with the mod it breaths just as well with the modified filter. Each to their own. If you don't want to modify, so be it. But I'm very happy with the way it turned out.
