Default Help reg HOSE from valve cover to Air Box

Hi guys,

Sorry if this has already been asked but I couldn't find the answer.

I have done my turbo and I have a hose from the valve cover that is connected to the top of the throttle body in the air box. Now since I dont have a Air box anymore cause of the turbo pipe directly going into the throotle body where do I leave this hose to. Do I have to route it to the inlet pipe just after teh filter or just leave it open. I guess it is some inlet for air into the Valve cover or is it just a breather hose for teh fumes from the engine oil etc.

Would really appreciate your guys help,

THANKS

It's just ventilation. Don't worry about it. If you want, you can go over to Rice Boys and get a little filter to put on there, thats what I did. :P

Great that was fast. Got to try and get some sort of a filter then. Hope Summit Racing has something that will fit.

THANKS

Dont order somthing like that just go to any auto parts store and pick one up there like 10$ at the most. You can even find a cheaper one at a hobby shop made as a rc car filter thats what i used untill i ran it into my intake

just take a beercan and crush it between the runners of your intake manifold, then jam the hose in there

you can do the filter thing. or you can run the tube to the turbo's air INLET (b4 the air is compressed).

yeah you can do the whole routing back into your turbo ----... but when you blow your rings and that bitch starts smoking.... you can bet your IC and piping will have a nice little coat of oil all over it...
