well, I have re-thought the breather line from the tank to the air filters. Still think it's the way to go, but you'll need an oil separator tank inline between the oil tank and air filter, or the extreme pull under boost from the air filter will pull oil right into the engine. At least that's what happened to me on my Chevelle. For now I've gone back to the breather caps on the tanks that Stef came with, and have disconnected the lines from the tanks to the filters. I'm not smelling or seeing any vapors anyway. Ideally the breather tanks would be separator tanks, so that the vacuum pull from the filters could only pull pressure, not oil. The Stef tanks I have are not and it pulls straight oil through if hooked to the filters.
Thing is, I'm not pushing any oil into the tanks, I haven't had any oil to drain out yet; but the vacuum pull from boosted turbo air filters will pull the oil from the engine, through the tanks, and into the turbos which is the last thing you want on a forced induction build.
