I bet not as much as me!!
The turbo oil feed has I think been sorted time will tell Sunday. But yeah as long as there are no nasty problems it should be done and in the road on the next few weeks.

Good to hear, bet you’re like a kid at Christmas waiting to get this finished now!

Hope all goes well mat, what changes have you made to the engine breather system to cope with the forced induction?

What are you spicificly referring too?
Idle control has been an issue. But we have 2 options in that. And working out the rest as we go.

I mean to stop boost pressure from pressurising the crankcase, I've seen one way pcv (positive crankcase ventilation) valves plumbed in to allow the engine to vent crank compression without allowing boosted air in.
Does that make sense?

Ah I see I have a catch can and venting set up yet to see if it all works. Again one of the what if things.

Looking forward to seeing you out and about again mat, sounding good mate

Im not sure if the s54 CCV system is different in stock form, but I'm happy to post up some pics of my catch can setup, which appears to catch, nothing bar condensation !!! lol... Which is actually good news.

Can't wait to meet up for a drive buddy

sorry for this being delayed buddy.... been a busy weekend.

excuse the order of the pics but basically from the cam cover, we go to the bottom of the oil catch can, its filled with 4 discs with differing size wholes to catch the blow by, it then has to travel up the can to the top which as you can see connects to the inlet of the blower in my case. The catch can is billet and is beautifully constructed , it even has its own dip stick , lol!!
