Alex, with regards to the breather kit on the left side of your bay (seen it on Bill's Ibiza too), is this a Forge item and is it available for the Leon?
Also, is the upper charge pipe on yours available separately from BDM? Is it a 51-60mm pipe?
Lastly, are you using the 0.64AR GT28RS or the 0.84AR? I'm considering the 0.84AR version for my Leon.

The catch tank is made specifially for the Ibiza, though im sure it could be adapted to fit the Leon.
I will have to check with Mark about the charge pipe. Im sure we can sort something out and yes its 51-60mm.
I was using the 64ar 28rs, but now im changing to the 84ar 2871r.
***, cool. So what difference would the larger 0.80 AR make to the GT28RS, slower spool but more top end?
360 with 28rs! thats what mine makes on a 2871r lol
be nice with 1.9 for sure, im tempted now plus having minor issues with cylinder 4 but money just doesnt allow at the moment.

Hey Darren, do you mean the catch tank acts as a breather? I've come across a few VAG cars that have catch tanks with a breather filter at the top and I'm just wondering if it is necessary to a catch tank with a breather filter. Any Idea's as to why they have breathers or if it’s a must to have one?
I’m sure Alex's Motor will produce more than 400 Hp especially because he's had the cylinder head done by JNL Racing and his cars lightened.
I cant wait to see what mine will produce
. JNL racings done a fantastic job on my engine may be I should start a thread and post some pics on my motor build.

Your old breather system would have vented back into the intake pipe and inlet manifold. They are blanked off when you fit the catch tank so all the vapours escape from the catch tank breather. Its better to fit a filter to stop **** getting in the catch tank, but you dont have to.
Im hoping for 400 at fairly low boost too with minimal lag. Time will tell.
Isn't the 0.84 A/R GT2871R supposed to be very laggy, most say the 0.64 version is alot better?
