G60 Valve Cover

[nocones77-vw at yahoo.com (nocones77-vw@yahoo.com)]

Sorry for the late reply, but I didn't see any others so here's my .02.

Just browse the K&N catalog for one with the right diameter to fit the rubber grommet.

However, from my personal experience, there are two issues to consider:

- I found one with the right diameter, but it was chromed and with forged pistons causing a bit of blow-by it wasn't hard to create enough crank case pressure to pop it out. Had to put a hose clamp on there and really crank it down to work at all. I'd advise staying away from chrome, or come up with some way to knurl/scratch the base so it won't slide out of the rubber grommet so easily.

- You'll probably end up with some fumes in your cabin either way, but I found it much better to use the factory G60 breather/separater with the rubber hose that would normally connect it to the boost recirc pipe, and put the filter in the end of that. Maybe doesn't look as classy, but resulted in much less fumes and oil. (again, my forged pistons and resulting necessary blow-by may be partly to blame)

You can see my setup here.

If my car gets turned back into a street car, the first thing I'm going to do is plumb the breather back into the intake as it should be, or at least run a hose over to a proper breather/separator tank to see if that helps. I've seen G60 valve cover setups where they used an AN fitting to a hose that went to a breather tank. Still not technically emissions compliant, but much less fumes, no saturated/dripping filters, etc.

Speaking of the G60 valve cover, anyone know where to get those trick little 
round chrome filters for the breather hole?
Thx, JT
