I assume you only want the braided lines for the look of it - because there is no mechanical reason to use braided lines for this application.

Budget for $20-40 per fitting and $50/m for the hose. You will need at least 4 fittings, possibly 2 more depending on what fittings you have on the separator. You also have to think about how you are going to connect the hoses to the cam covers. To do it properly you need to thread the cam covers and screw in a nipple of weld on an AN fitting as shown in the second pic (add 2 more fittings).

Dude go to Pertek i done mine an dmy mates braided lines to our catch cans... It aint cheap tho dude... for 1.2m of braid fitted was $190, with the four weld on threaded fittins (2*rocker covers, 2*catch can = $26) plus the two 90 degree screw on fittings are $28 each for the rocker covers, $18 each for the straight fittings for the catch can... as i sad totalled $190. Once ya do that and then braid ya oild and water lines to the turbo and a few others it gets very exspensive, ya better off jsut using a colored silicon based tubing. Looks good and works. I have since taken my braid off the catch can and just run black silicon tubing and cops don't like the the braid, it makes it look to serious under the bonnet.

Cheers for all that guys, its good to get other perspectives. I might bar the autobarn option, if I'm going to do it I'm going to do it properly.

I just like the neatness of the braided lines, and in regards to police.... I have other illegal/defectable things on my car that are more expensive so it doesn't really bother me.

GTS4G> Problem isn't with other exspensive parts dude, cos usually they have no idea about mechanical stuff, its only things that stand out that catch their eye and defect. I have a big turbo, FMIC, filter, huge BOV everything and they said nothing, had no idea what it was when they popped the hood said yeah its all fine, except braided line he asked what it does and was iffy when i said its just looks, cos i didn't want to reveal its there to take the extra pressure its bearing. I had a Super AFC-II on the dash, three gauges up the pillar, boost switch with 'Boost' next to it, and they proceeded to defect me for my exhaust being to low to the ground as i sparked when i went over a bump :S Thats how smart they are.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
