    98 v70 t5 pre heat thingy

    do we really need it, is it is a case of just blanking off pipework to disable it?

    right, ignore the pre heat bit, the thing i'm on about is actually the pcv and i want to not have it plumbed to the intake, so a catch tank is what i need

    Oh it's not the preheater that you can use on a timer to heat your car up in the winter?

    Haha James,

    From what I've seen of the PCV (all of it) you should be able to pull the hose off the ptc nipple, blank the nipple and attach the hose to the catch tank. (make sure it has a breather on the tank).
