Any one have a good lead on true baffeled breathers for valve covers? On my TTA I took 2 front covers from a 3.0L fwd car (ours are a little different than normal turbo 6 covers), had a tube welded in the oil fill holes to give me a good stem, then picked up a couple K&N clamp on "baffled" breathers. Well, the end result is kind of as I wanted it. I installed (another) RMS then went driving. Now under boost I have plenty of vent, no oil out the RMS! There is enough pressure, however, to saturate the filter element with oil. The baffled K&N's have an external baffle around 50% of the element. The kicker is that baffle attaches at the top of the filter and not to the bottom. Now oil wickes out, drops onto the inside of the baffle then drops on the top side of the headers. I can not imagine why the oil baffle does not attach at the bottom so that oil can roll back in to the cover. Any way, I need new breathers.
