Been researching this for a little while and I'm still not sure how to do this properly

Got myself a catch tank and ordering an atmosphere breather filter and hose to route from the cam cover too

Now on an XE, I know I need to route the larger (15mm or so) pipe to the catch tank, but what do I do with the smaller ones that also goes to the intake system? Does that get blanked off, or routed to the same catch tank?

Ah cool, makes it easier then

Why on earth is there two to begin with then? I'm still on standard injection so got all the original hoses fitted atm.

Ones the high/fast idle breather isnt it? (big one)

Iirc, as the small one is under the tb its at constance suck to remove the normal pressure there.. The big one is the high revving larger pressure one. (i might be making that up.. but sure it was posted some where)

Big one is the actual breather, Small one is vacuum to draw it up and out.

Leave the little one where it is.
