Td5 turbo air box pipes

[Landymad2008]

Hi, I've got a twisted defender which has been having a slight problem with turbo boosting, found problem laying down to air box elbow pipe which must be collapsed, however Im looking for a replacement / upgrade pipe to fit so same problem won't occur again, I've seen one that ALIVE do however they say you need to run a oil catch tank on the top breather pipe, anyone know what or how I need to do this, thanks

instead of engine breather pipe running into filter to turbo pipe you fit breather to a separate oil catcher tank/bottle

How does this work? Do you have to run to the catch can back to the airbox?

Cheers.

no, normally engine breather is fed back into inlet so is burned in the engine thus reducing emissions, catch tank just has a breather to atmosphere and catchers any oil ,though you could find somewhere on inlet side ie before turbo to plumb breather pipe to, some use a oil catcher inline with normal breather set up so as to remove oil from the gasses before it re-enters intake,but is only necessary if engine passes a lot of oil through breather
