Question Turbo inlet DELETE

Currently I am running the Perrin GT35R kit and I want to get rid of the turbo inlet hose all together since it is being pinched by one of the intercooler pipes. There are two oil lines that are on the inlet hose and i was wondering what I should do with them? The car is running speed density and I will cover the turbo inlet with a mesh fitting or something, but i just need to know what to do about the oil lines. If someone with tell me how to post pics on here i will... thanks for the help

Here are some pictures of my old rotated setup, I hope it helps a bit. I'm sure there are other people who can chime in on how they routed their lines but this is how I did mine.

The hose near the intake manifold is connected to a catch can but was just set aside for install purposes.

Just replace the white T fitting with a straight thru fitting, that will eliminate the hose in the 2nd photo. You can get them from any automotive store.

Those are your breather lines. With a 35r on the car you should definitely have a good air/oil separator or catch can. Do NOT plug those lines! (or remove the t-fitting, sheesh). I guess you could just leave em hanging, but they will make a mess of your engine bay... especially if you break a piston, it'll shoot oil everywhere.

Yikes, I should have paid attention to this thread, but by all means don't plug up the lines. Jays05 is in the right track as far as addressing the breather lines.

yes do not plug any breather lines..to much pressure in the crank case will make your engine go BOOM!
