Is that the one that your pipe thats not connected to no where is coming off.......... :whistle: :exitright: didn't get chance to look yesterday fella sorry but will do soon honestly :thumbsup: the trouble is in the evenings is that it's so dark it's hard to see anything and to get the car in the garage i have to shift all the sh@t thats in the way hence why i meant to have a lok on the weekend.
As for the pressure convertor i'm not sure mate but i am sure someone will tell us soon ;)

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

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:
