I've been runnung mine for two winters now, no problems at all. Just don't route the hose over to the brake side like they show. I zip-tied mine to the steering column area. Reason is the crank gases carry a little oil as well as moisture and I didn't like that getting near my brake rotor and electrics. Don't worry about the little filter tho, it works good.

I ran mine straight forward into the nose easy to clean there and works fine

Pic of the MPI breather/tank?

 

[tko47]

tko47,
What hose did you use?

 

[Srxspec]

That is the hose supplied in the MPI kit. They recommend that you route it up towards the steering post, but tko routed it forward and it works well there!

 

[mbarryracing]

OK, what size and type hose does MPI include in their kit?

 

[tko47]

Its like 3/4 oil return line hose with a 90 degree elbow right above where it slides on the engine
