Don't forget to drill a hole in the block...

Am considering the same options at the moment but I find the angle/distance from turbo to the front cover not as appealing as into the rear cover.

I have to take the tappet breather off the intake of course as it will be under pressure. I was going to plumb it into the crank case breather setup. Is this what others have done.

My cross over pipe is in the same location.

I have the breather going to a provent.

Do you mean you have the tappet breather going to a provent and the crankcase breather going through the original catch can on an extended pipe or both going through the provent?

The tappet cover goes to the provent. I'm using the rear side cover as a drain for a centrifugal filter. I intend using the front cover as breath point to provent.

All oil lines on now. Red Ortec drain to front cover.
Working on airfilter.

Fired it up for a short time today.
Are these the boost figures I should be getting.
No load and maxs at 3200 and I have not changed the fuel screw settings.
I thought I may have got more boost lower than this or is this normal?
5 Lbs at 3000 rpm

Mine produces about 5psi of boost at idle (unsure of idle speed as no tachometer), max boost is about 20psi.
