someone confirm for me please before I do it all wrong. If I am correct, which I think I am, I am going to do a write up with photos and the way I did it tonight.

 

That last picture is oil seperated from about 75 miles of driving....

 

So i tried to do the cheap upgrade tonight and it was a no go. I got a ompressor oil seperator from HD, it has 1/4" fittings. I tried finding brass fittings in the 1/4" threads and a 1/2 ID push on end. No luck with that. So the whole project is stalled. The only fittings I could find were with 1/4" threads, and 3/8 ID pushon fittings. Do I need to get a filter with bigger fittings?

 

Oops. Here ya go....

This is what I did. Keep in mind it's on the passenger's side for 2Vs....






Parts from Autozone; Campbell Hausfeld #MP5138...$11.99
#MP3314 3/8" hose repair kit...............................$ 3.99
#MP3207 3/8" hose end......................................$ 1.99
3' of 3/8" fuel line hose 1.18 a foot.......................$ 3.54
You'll need 3 black tie straps and some teflon tape which I already had.
Put tape on threads of two 3/8" ends and screw into filter. Check air flow arrow and mount as pictured with two tie straps. I put a piece of doublesided tape between unit and car body for a buffer. Undo hose from driver's side vent, take off large rubber adaptor, slide on new hose with clamp from repair kit, tighten and snap back into valve cover. Run other end to filter and slip it on, no clamp needed, inlet side. Attach the new hose to outlet side of filter and run to hose coming from supercharger back. Splice both hoses together using the brass fitting from the repair kit. Use both remaining clamps on this connection. Be sure to run the middle joint up into the factory hose side and clamp..will fit perfectly. I used the 3rd tie strap to anchor the line along the firewall nice and straight. Thats it! Took 30min to do!

 

Whats all the crap talk about the "not rated for synthetic"? Anyone a guru that can answer that here?

 

And also how does it prevent Detonation?
