Ross Racing B58 Gen1 Billet PCV Breather/Delete Kit (V2) with Oil Catch Can...

With reliability and preventative maintenance being a corner stone in my project/build, I'm working through the common issues with my G30 540i to remediate/remove them and try to make it that bit more bulletproof. I've already tackled the coolant tanks and pipes and replaced them with the newer v2 versions. The next thing on the list was the PCV system.

After a lot of online research and watching many videos on YouTube, I decided to buy the Ross Racing B58 Gen1 Billet PCV Breather/Delete Kit (V2) with Oil Catch Can - I think this is the best kit out there. Some might day it's overkill... maybe, but when it looks this good and how well it's made, I wanted this on my build.

Some of you may know/have seen that the PCV can fail on the B58 powered cars... with me now in the process of pushing more power and rather than me waiting for this to fail, I've decided to remove it from the car and fit this kit. Any oil vapour that comes out the crankcase will end up in the OCC (rather than going back through the turbo, intake, chargepipe or intake manifold) and any fumes will be able to VTA - vent through the breather ontop of the OCC and route under the car via the hose.

This kit will help with the reliability of the car when it's pushed even further in the future. Thanks to Matt at rossrperformance for sorting me out with this.

Looking forward to getting it fitted soon... just waiting for the car to come back to me. The turbo and coolant bits have all been fitted, it's just being road tuned but due to the bad weather recently, it's taking a bit longer.

I will also need to modify the OCC bracket to fit the car as it's made for F series cars 😏
