OK, I've spoken to Johnny and this is where it's at.

 

Here's the description of how it works, posted earlier by Smithy:

 

Ok guys here's how the kit works, ON BOOST the one way valves are closed, Mio filters allow crankcase fumes to escape into the air induction to prevent build up, as per standard breather system.

OFF BOOST, which is where the problems are, Internal valves inside the Mio filters are now closed preventing air from being drawn into turbo charger inlet pipes. One way valves now open, drawing a vacuum from the inlet manifold, into the engine crankcase via the rocker cover connections. This metered crankcase depression prevents oil from escaping past the turbo end seals, causing exhaust oil smoke, there you go !!!

My conclusion is, the existing standard exhaust set up with cats, keeps back pressure nice and high, when this pressure reduces it causes the piston to wriggle free from the seal, until eventually there is a gap all the way around piston and seal does not mate up. If you're just removing cats it shouldn't be a problem, if your doing the exhaust as well, I would fit the kit, just in case lack of pressure does now wear out the seals. If you're smoking now already try the kit, it can only help matters as it did with mine. The kit can be fitted by anyone who's got screwdrivers and a few pairs of different pliers ...

 

If your turbos are getting on a bit, starting to smoke or you're removing cats then this seems like reasonable insurance against potentially quick and expensive turbo demise. Several people already have this fitted and report good results.

 

So far we have 7 people who have shown an interest :-

We need 10 or more for Johnny's supplier to give us this price.

Price is normally approx £133 all in (incl. VAT & postage), cost to us will be £105 all in, (£95, plus £10 postage).

Delivery should be around 15 days after the order goes through.

 

I would like to close this by Friday 19th October, so please confirm below if you're in.

 

Thanks

 

Andy

It took a weee bit longer than we thaught due to not being able to get one hose off, but one that was done i recon the whole job would take nothing more than an hour, and i can say i am pleasently suprised by the way this thing works
