G60 Scirocco Progress

[peter at thescirocco.com (Peter)]

Using oil blow by for lubrication doesn't sound like a good idea...
I would think that the blow off would have carbon in it, and who knows what
else.
Isn't there a way to run an oil line to it?

I have this 2 1/4" piece:

I will have to look into the best way to track the air in around the bumper
support and the fender well.  I installed it there since that was the
easiest place to mount it.  I was thinking of piping air in from the vent
duct on the air dam.    I was planning on making a piece to block off the
air from the engine bay.

 Also notices you blocked off the return to the charger. Are you still using

I do not know the best route to go.  BBM does not recomend using a BOV with
a supercharger but other have done it.  BBM says that the return line should
be used and there is no performance difference by not sending the warm
unused air back into the supercharger like others on the horetex have
explained.  I mostly disconnected the supercharger return line so I could
use the standard radiator instead of the Corrado one.  BBM says that the G
lader gets lubercated by the oil blow off from the head so I am going to tap
into the block off plate and send the blow off oil into it instead of into a
can or filter via rubber hose.  Interested in what your baffle consists of,
sounds like the way to go since I do not want all the extra noise.

Anyone have any 2.25" or 2.5" intercooler ducting for sale?  Stuff is way
expensive new.
