Here's my 2p on the kit.
Basically for the money I can't complain as in general terms it's not a bad bit of kit. However there are one or two issues which let it down in my opinion and these are as follows:
- Not designed for a EU spec vehicle, as a result of this it means that if you wish to attempt to fit the bracket in the suggested location in accordance with the instructions then your working in a very very tight area. As a result of this I've used the small M14 mounting point in front of the battery.
- The supplied P-clip doesn't offer a tight enough fit around the body of the catch can, as a result of this it's had to be packed out to prevent it dropping down, falling out etc.
- The BSH instructions are outdated and don't reflect the way in which the pipes should be orientated from the PVC plate to the catch can.
- Missing parts, just jubilee clips. Nothing major but I wasn't expecting to have to go out and buy bits they stated on the contents they were included in the package.
- The 90 degree tees from the plate and woeful, require filing back to ensure they don't protrude and prevent a seal between the head and plate. They may work but in the long run the threads can easily become cross threaded. As a result of this I'm going to try the following item next week sometime to see if they fit any better

The plus points are that at the minute there doesn't seem to be any issues with the kit functioning, it's catching oil and containing it. I need to get around to draining it but with the tap it won't be an issue.
Since I've fitted it the car doesn't seem to be as eager to rev and I can only guess that this may be because of a boost leak from either the inlet manifold or from the head, either way I'll get round to sorting it when I try the new fittings.
If it sounds like BSH bashing then thats not what I intended I'm just giving my honest opinion of the kit.
