I had a small filter on mine looked like a small k&n. Got it from halfords and bloked the hole on the k&n




I didn't understand exactly, where was this small filter? on the hose output?




Check pic above, you might have missed it

it's clear now but I don't understand where all the crap is going except the fumes which are passing thru filter. Are they building up in the filter and you need to wash it every few days/weeks/months?

can someone explain why are these catchers with some kind of small filter on the top. I mean there is no pressure and the return hose goes back to the filter. except if it's not for the case that you only connect the intake so the air can go out true there without messing around the engine with fumes?

You think there is enough space to fix it without probs?

If there's not you can move it around until you find the best spot mate!
All the Fiesta engine bays I've seen have had PAS relocations and Oil catch tanks in many different places to where mine were mounted!

I've looked at these catcher tanks but do they make much difference?

well I thought the best place for PAS and catch can would be in this area like on this photo.
tip: the PAS you can see only a small piece beside the windshield washing liquid.



tip2: I'm installing the GGR CAI so the area in front of the battery will get filled I think.

Have you not considered the mountune cais? I think its cheaper than the ggr and it'll work better
