In all seriousness a full kit would be more enticing for someone to purchase knowing that no additional research would be needed in getting the remaining parts. Also it would be easier for shops to install as well. I'm not sure what the total cost of this upgrade would be but if more people were aware of the benefits I'm sure more and more diesel owners would jump on board if marketed correctly. I developed a product of my own for the E39 platform and it's crazy how it blew up and now available worldwide. The great thing is now I just manufacture and don't have to worry about distribution. |

Until we (collectively) determine how best to keep this mod working, I wouldn't be comfortable with supplying a "turn key" kit anyway. I'm sure I could bundle a document that spells out what else needs to be purchased.

Zetatre or sgrice, can you guys send a picture of what the dipstick attachement looks like? I'm having trouble envisioning how it's put together. I don't understand your earlier post about cutting the T, saddle, epoxy, etc. The outlet from the ProVent and the oil on the bottom both drain back to the oil dipstick is that correct?

Zetatre/sgrice, is there a functional reason i should not just cut the plastic tube coming out of the oil separator on the valve cover and connect the ProVent input hose there, not drill holes in the ProVent, and then run the ProVent out hose back to the other end of the plastic tube that connects before the turbo inlet? Basically just replacing the black plastic breather tube on the valve cove with the un-modified ProVent?

Pay attention to orientation of the 1/2" opening of the tee in relation to dipstick tube. |

Seattle, have you resolved the issue you had with the filter media saturating and not working correctly?

It is actually working correctly. I insinuated it may not be based on popping off post-Ingercooler charge pipe at throttle body and seeing oil or/and soot in the pipe and in throttle body.
However, when I popped the tube returning from ProVent into turbo intake, I found it completely dry and clean. Before, lots of oil would be returned in there from CCV. So, ProVent is doing an excellent job. The oil/soot in the intercooler pipe are likely from turbo seals. A lot less of this stuff in the pipe than before. |

Glad to hear!!
I assume, given the function and location of the intercooler, it's possible that there is a relatively large quantity of oil trapped in it. Even with no addition of oil from the turbos you may continue to see it in the intake.
