No worries mate. I'm not sure the pipe does come from that as stated on oem. I had a quick look at the weekend whilst doing the sway links and it tlooks as if the pipe comes from the bottom of the engine, some breather maybe ? Im going to take the top plastic cover off the front of the engine this weekend and check around the egr area as it looks as if thats where the pressure converter is located.

Cheers

A lot of discussion about the pressure converter on. 3er, but it may perform the same function?

Thanks very much for the help. It appears there are 2 pressure converters...1 for the turbo and the other for the EGR side of things, both giving the same part numbers ! When I get time over the weekend I will explore more to where this pipe goes :thumbsup:
