Try venting the catch can to air and blocking the 20mm hole in the MAF hose. That's how I run mine, no oil in the intake, I just have a pipe from the catch tank to atmos out the bottom of the car. It'll smell a bit if you need rings..
Yup, came fitted to the car, I assume Steve/knightrider s4 fitted it for Derek/dm80.
Ok, I will try that, I used to run my old catch tank like that for a few years with no issues, but thought this was better for crank case negative pressure. I take it you think un contaminated intake is a bigger benefit?
I was at Knockhill on Saturday for a trackday, 4 hour open pit lane
It was great fun, and the car mostly behaved itself. The compbrake top mount nut on the NSF keep coming loose, so needs blue locktite or a flat unitorque nut to double nut it. I boiled the brake fluid (fluid was last changed in 2011) With the help of my dad, and martinws we quickly had all the brakes bled through, and the car back in action. No fade at all, so happy with the DS2500s, though I could brake later and be harder on them.
Engine was perfect all day, had a couple of good reference cars up the main straight
ABY S2, hybrid turbo, 340bhp, I can pass and pull away from
Focus RS dynod at 390bhp, I can sit on his bumper, cant pass him but he cant pull away.
So the car would appear to be running roughly as it should.

And yes, I do realise I was driving like a mongo, but it was great fun sliding it around, and I was keen to find the cars limits again. Slowing down, and smoothing things out later made things much quicker.
I can make the car understeer, or oversteer just depending on how you balance it going into the corner, so pretty happy with the current setup.
The thing with the CC breathing into the intake is that it will always breath heaviest when on full boost which is when you're driving it hard and don't want the oil vapour going in there and causing detonation.
That looks like great fun Andy! Glad to hear the cars going properly.
I can also see Johns thinking with the catch tank, might give mine a go like that now I've fixed the coolant lose issue with half a small bottle of Kseal which I had knocking around from my 16V Golf, it worked on that as well. Did 250 miles yesterday, no coolant loss, no water in the catch tank and running perfectly in all respects apart from the clutch.

I am torn on chassis mods, strip fully and rear half cage, or put the interior back in and quieten it down so its a bit more civilized on the road.
Or maybe a GT style, strip, half cage, and then carpet all the bare metal?
I think I'd go for a 3" down pipe now your running full RS2 spec, I'd certainly prioritise that ahead a Wagner intake now you've got the hoses to stay put on your current set up.
Water meth would be well worth it if you can get the car mapped for it, there's something to be said for it regardless.
Have to say I won't going back to a stripped out interior any time soon, I've only added a few KG's but it makes things so much more civilised when cruising along, it's nice being able to talk.

What would be your benefit list of COP Newsh? I dont know if its work it if I stay at this power level, though it opens up mapping options, and should be more reliable.
The oil cooler seems to be doing its job, never even hit 130, it did rise and sit just under 130, but never reached it.
I checked the trip computer mpg for a laugh, since reset I have driven to work in traffic, to Knockhill at 40-50 mph, and then around track (and the trip computer still thinks its on stock injectors) 12mpg
I filled the car to the neck, and took two jerry cans, and still had to buy more fuel from somebody who had to take their car off, its thirsty when driven hard!
Had a quick look at tyre damage (were brand new a few weeks ago )
NSF, shoulder scrubbed, some chunks torn out (also tore the arch liner-wing screw out)
NSR, rubber sraped across
NSR rubbing on the arch liner
NSF rubbing on the wing
This top mount nut kept coming loose
Any thoughts? Blue Locktite? Double nut?
This is a normal nut on top, would double nut lock, but no nylock, might hit when the strut deflects? Maybe get a thin nut?
I think the arch liners will be coming out, and some arch rolling to be done. NSR is a problem though as there is filler in it
