What put me off their PCV delete was the location of the pipes. The response I got from them when I asked how much residue comes out and where the pipes go to was: "Behind the engine somewhere, it'll be fine"


I done a bit of research spoke to a couple of people about how they fit theirs rather that asking R-Tech, from what I heard and read the pcv complete delete is the best way to go to keep the valve clean. Kebabwarrior81 and AlexK1 on here were both very helpful when I asked about their own set ups.

It's the only worthwhile option over the OEM PCV.

The best way of routing them is down in to the exhaust tunnel as far as where the main catalytic converter would be - either to the side or just inside the tunnel/heatshielding, which is what I did, along with suitable heatshield tape on the breather pipes. Since doing this I don't smell it at all. When they were simply routed down the 'back of the engine bay' the smell was vile and overpowering, came in through the vents, open windows etc.

And for Rich's question - the pipe from the cam cover gives no residue at all on mine, just gases/pressure. The one from the crank breather does. Not a lot - but enough to make the end of the pipe 'mucky'

Decided to respray my grill today, been on for a good 25K+ and is stone chipped to hell and starting to look totally naff. Just got it off the car, prepped and waiting for the first coat to dry.

Edit - now finished.

Took my car to protyre to have a 4 wheel alignment, every wheel was in the red apart from my rear nearside which was spot on somehow. Anyway, the mechanic called me into the workshop and pointed to the fuel cooler, it was hanging off the bottom of my car by one bolt! The front bolt had snapped, lucky I didn't rip it off on anything. Fixed it with 2 cable ties (please don't hate me)
Looked like some goon had spot welded the bolt together and hey presto it had snapped, again.
