Apparently it is not lega; to have have the crank case vent to the air. It should be recycled.

Right, your biggest concern with the insurance company would be not telling them you fitted a BMC.

As noted, venting the crankcase breather directly will result in an MOT failure. So all you need is a crankcase breather filter, avaliable from all good motor accessory shops (even Halfords).

I've had my GTi MOT'd whilst fitted with a BMC, and it passed without any problems.

I think its says not for Highway use on it. Which im guessing is a warning for the American market.

your car will pass an MOT with a BMC as long as you have the breather filter. Insurance companies will not pay out on a claim if you have a BMC unless its declared, like all other mods. You dont need to declare what type of induction kit it is, just declare that you have an indcution kit

Does the breather filter affect performance at all?

I very much doubt it.

g.s.f do a breather filter of an old bettle that fits too,

Its all good with the insurers as long as it is declared!

I'm sorting one out this month... (fingers crossed!)...
