Mine goes into a sprite bottle.
If loads of steam is coming out of it then you have to wonder how so much water is getting into your engine.
Is there also bits of mayo?
I filled up a sprite bottle with water in a few thousand miles, then my head gasket went. Even now with it fixed I get a bit of water out of it.

either fit a breather or fit an induction kit which has an attachment of the OE tube.

holy shit, its going back to the mechanics tomoz any way, the engine was re-built 100miles ago, new head gasket the lot, its been skimmed too, there is so much steam, could it be a cracked head???? hope not, engine is smoking very very badly, gettin fixed for free, there is a loud bangin too, sounds like the noise before the re-build which was no1 piston hitting the cylinder head due to a main bearing collapsing!!!!, got a spare head well spare engine so i am sure it will be ok i hope

I wont Sell it matey, im just a bit annoyed with this whole thing really, i would want about £400 for box, it would be best to get the mantzel chip lol, normal superchips only cater for an exhaustand filter basically

Well i did drive it for half a day - the lexmaul manifold and superchip, and to be honest it felt slow, maybe its down on power cos something is wrong i dunno, gonna get a RR result once its run in fingers crossed it will be over 150 BHP

its strange, after the second re-build i drove it, the car felt slow then it got smashed up that night, picked it up from bodyshop friday and it felt quick, even with the problem, maybe i just got used to it, i dunno i will see, phoning the mechanic now to arrange dropping me car off tonight, i so hope its not bad
