Mate, I havent yet fabricated one up like that, but Im going to have to give it a go due to demand, main reason I havent made one yet, is the lack of mounting points to support the heat sheild as you go further down the turbo. Ill Give it a second go in the next few weeks for the people that have been asking.

I have fabricated plenty of 'no hole' intercooler piping set-ups on VL's, it's not a problem. I dont have them as an off the shelf item, as people always want things done slightly different (BOVs etc). Not an expensive thing to do either, Im very reasonable. If you give me a call ([phone removed]) or come past the shop I can give you a quote and I can show you how the piping runs, and get some insight into what you have in mind.

Hey Jeremy As far as i know that air breather on the catch can has to return back to the intake manifold where the original piping was connected to from the rocker cover to the manifold. As i ran a breather and my car idled really low when it was warmed up.

On our car we put a "T" peice fitting in the front pipe that comes out of the rocker cover and 90 degree bends to your intake manifold, a trick that Mark from MRC dyno told us to do, the car runs correctly, and you extract unwanted burnt oil to your catch can. Have a look at our opening thread, the second engine bay pic of the airbox will show what I mean about the "T" piece, the advice from Mark worked great.
