Subject:Breather for 1.9 Diesel connversion question
From:Paul A. Cianciolo
Date:Tue, 28 Sep 1999 22:19:22 -0400

Hello Folks

I am very close to going to get my 1.9TD Vanagon registered.  I need to
attend to one more challange.
I cannot find a breather for the 1.9td and I do not want to go to the dealer
unless it is a last result.

1) Has anyone ever used any other style oil seperator?

2) Can I just vent this to the atmosphere or do I need to break my intake
line to the turbo?

3) What might happen if I do just vent it to the atmosphere?

Thanks for the help

BTW I have been driving the Vanagon around the block and I must say this
thing really flies compared to
what I though it would be like.  Shifting point is important.  Must shift at
a point where the rpm is still high enough in the next gear to keep the
turbo from spooling down.
