I drive a 3.6 , now I know P platers arnt allowed engine mods but surely this cant be classified as being one. How do you install them ?
It's a catch can, not a turbo, the only time youll run into issues with the police is if the catch can has a filter on top to breathe to atmosphere, this is illegal. Elite catch cans are sealed.

Can't have anything venting to atmo and they think it's a fire hazard.

Depends on how you install it. If you connect it properly to the Pcv then you'll be able to fit it with trial and error with positioning. If you attach it to the left side then no cause there isn't any space.

In the last couple of hours I've been exploring the idea of putting in the cai otr, so it won't be a problem should I go that way. Thanks anyway.
