yeah crankcase breather will need to be plumbed back into the intake sumwhere between the air filter and the turbo. for example, in those pics you could weld/braze a barb fitting the the steel adapter that conects the airbox to the intake silicon pipe.

i to have jus picked up a zd30 airbox and wil be installing it into my gq td42 this week. wil let you know how i go, but looks liek it wil be all sweet.

the other good thing about the zd30 airbox is because how common the zd30 is it makes them about 1/4 of the price that people want for a td airbox. :armsup:

Sounds fair, thanks. What's the benefit of a catch can?

Are the replacement air boxes that you get with gq turbo kits as restrictive as the td42t ones... If so i might invest in a 3lt one.

You could always use an aftermarket air housing. We sell these at cummins (fleetguard product) and there's a variety of different ones available. i'm looking at a straight forward 3'' in 3'' out for the turbo conversion on my rb30 patrol.

Ok guys. The time has finally come to order my ZD30 airbox as my hunt for a second hand unit has bared no fruits. :cry:

My contact at the local dealership needs part numbers - can anyone post up the part number/numbers for the box??

Is there any differences between the different series GU's that i should be wary of??

Thanks guys!

No, its a proper dealership, but if i go in and ask for an airbox for a GU, they'll get confused because i drive a GQ. One of my riding buddies is 2IC there, and its just going to be a lot easier/hassle free and less chance of a fcuk up if i just say "Here's the part numbers, order it."

Nah, not Echuca, although i get the feeling that this problem is not isolated. I ended up finding the part number myself and ordering it like that.

For reference in this thread: P/N: 16500VC10A, RRP$412.33, i paid $350.00. That ia a complete airbox assembly including filter and the little plenum.
