    Help with breather system PLEASE!

    Hi i've put a vr4 engine in a fto but im not sure i have connected the breather system up correctly as i am getting some smoke out the exhuast

    i assume that this pipe goes on the bit on the front rocker cover


    now for the bit i think i got wrong

    does this pipe go on here?


    then here


    then on the back of the inlet manifold?


    or do i need to block off that pipe as that part went to the vr4 power steering pump, which i replaced with a fto pump so it doesnt have the vaccum switch on it?

    The 3rd pic is one that goes to the P/S switch, but then there is another one there aswell. I just bloked mine off as i didnt run p/s. On the manifold, the big one goes to your brake servo and the wee may go to the dump valve but cant remember off the top of my head. But 1st one your right about.

    Yes.
    And goes into intake pipe before throttle body, just next to vacuum boost pipe.
    Ex: Galant VR4

    Now: Lancer Evolution 8 FQ-300
    Running 325 HP ATW and 510 Nm torque at 1.6 bar
