Following the installation of my LoveFab turbo, I've had constant issues with oil fumes coming out of my catch tank.
The catch tank I bought is pretty basic with two inputs for the tubes coming out of the camshaft covers and a small filter on the top to allow the system to breathe.
In normal driving there is no major issue except a slight oiling of the filter but as soon as you go full power on a fast track, oil gets deposited everywhere around the filter...
Luckily D.Dozier gave me a hint to recirculate the oil fumes back into the engine air intake by taking advantage of the low pressure created right after the air filter.
The thread where it's explained is here:

The pictures will show how I did it.
Next week, I will get it back on the car for further testing.
Ideally I will need a better catch can that really allows a separation of the oil contained in the fumes.
I have no doubt it will work fine as the guy who did the soldering for me, owns an Alpine Renault "Le Mans" that uses exactly the same principle right out of the factory.
Stange that our good turbo kit suppliers didn't think about this in the first place...
Thanks D.Dozier!
