    Cam Box Hotside Breather - M45 Supercharger

    Reply Contact

    Some advice please.

    Having fitted an Eaton M45 to my 2002 MK2.5 1.8 I am unsure as to what is the "correct" way to apply a breathing system to the hotside of the cam box.

    Use a "mini" filter & vent into the atmosphere?

    Use a rubber hose & attach to the air intake hose after the MAF?

    I have seen examples of both systems.

    Which is the best system & why?

    Thank you for looking

    Keith

    Simple choice.

    Do you want oily crap in your engine or in the atmosphere ?

    The only positive is if you feed it pre charger then in theory it will coat the blades and make a better seal (over time)

    Good Day Mark

    Thank you for the reply, I've chosen the the pre charger route.
