Question Breather from the oil neck to turbo inlet

I've searched with out results. What did you you guys do with the breather hose that goes from the oil filler neck down to the plastic elbow on the inlet of the turbo. This is one of the few issues I've found going single. Your input would be much appreciated.

That's what I was thinking, but I wanted to see what everyone else has done.

That is your only choice. Catch can or run it to the single intake again.

Thanks, I just wanted some reassurance that I'm doing the right thing.

Try to find a catch can that is baffled so that it will catch as much of the oil as possible. I have a straight unbaffled can and even though it does a decent job catching the oil a little gets by and you can see some of it coating my turbo inlet.

So you're running a hose from the turbo inlet to a catch can then to the oil fill??
