Plumbing back into the TIP largely defeats the object of having a catch tank in the first place. You don't want these fluids going into your intake; they're only routed back into the engine as standard for environmental purposes.
Depending on the catch tank you use (i.e. baffled or not) if you re-plumb back into the TIP you still risk recirculating this blow-by waste back into the engine - much better to vent to atmosphere THROUGH a catch tank.
If you vent straight to the atmosphere without a tank you'll be spilling oily sludge over the road/car. When using a catch tank you should only be venting fumes, not liquid. The tank is designed to catch and trap these fluids, with only fumes escaping.
nice one robbieC i so could not be assed to explane all of that
if people read through the whole thread they will know exacly what to do and what is needed
i gess some people just want others to do all the work for them

Well isnt the purpose of a catch tank to stop those fluids going back into the TIP?

Thats exactly what i said...i dont mind if occasionaly a drop or two of water or oil drops from vent hose to under my car...so in terms of removing oil from intake, turbo, IC, piping buying catch tank is a waste of money (if venting to atmo)...but if u are concerned about leaving oily droplets under your car then u put catch tank.

A proper catch tank yes, if baffled correctly. But why vent anything back into the TIP at all? Just vent the gases to the atmosphere.
It's much better to have a catch tank installed so you can catch these fluids rather than let them drop out over the road...
I see your logic but it's missing the point
Thats what im saying all the time...
And, for me, the point of making this mod is to clean my pipes of oil...not to collect them in the catch tank...
Ive read all the posts here with understanding and my conclusion is that u can clean ur pipes without the catch tank only by removing PCV, black valve in the TIP and rerouting hoses to atmosphere..
Of course it is nice to have a catch can but it is not essential at all..
However it seems that some people here dont understand that and think that catch can is essential. (i dont mean you Robbie C)

I think you have a very good point its just not environmentally friendly if thats your bag.

its not environmentally friendly at all to let the oil just vent or drip onto the road BUT how many of you with catch tanks fitted actually take the waste oil to recycling plant or does it end up down the drain?
also who has a decat fitted ?? its there to stop pollution but people still remove them its still pollution
just that you cant see it
Its was that time of year again.....
Need a bigger catch can.. lol
god that is full
Its was that time of year again.....

what pipe are you useing as i want to change mine
the one that goes in the catch can is stock plastic one, but the exit is a clear one that looks similer garden hose, but because it was short and only got up to the batter, i stuck big siliconbe hose to the end of, but that changed colour, harden and brittle, partly blocked too
