OMG Brent I'm so glad you brought that up - wtf do I do with that? I had Paul on the phone while I was routing crap and he said I didn't have to connect that - should it hang down? I was worried about it getting dirt & shit in it if I did that - but then I thought maybe I should plug it? But then wasn't sure... so I just left it ;-) and the duct tape will be gone as soon as I get my tax check in a couple days :-) Just let it hang.

Thanks TJ :-) And Pinder - just so you know, that recirc is only .8965 miles long :-)

What ever you do - do NOT plug it shut. That's the fresh air inlet for your crankcase, so it needs to be able to breath.

Yes I knew it was the air inlet, that's why I didn't put it towards the ground b/c of dirt and stuff but then I didn't even know if it was necessary - so ya, I'll do that, and put a little filter cap on the end :-) thanks Paulie

its to pull the crank case air out. That is why its is routed to the intake pipe and also why you get oil in you intake pipe and intercooler.

The negative pressure in the intake manifold pulls open the PCV valve and that evacuates the crankcase. And as that air is being pulled out it has to be replaced by air from another source. Hence, that inlet on the passenger side of the valve cover. Sure, when there is high positive pressure built up in the crankcase, and the PCV valve is closed, you will have air (and oil mist) pushing out of that line, but it's primary purpose is for fresh air to enter into the crankcase. I've done extensive reseach on crankcase evacuation, so I have full confidence of my knowledge on the subject.

And Pinder - just so you know, that recirc is only .8965 miles long :-) So we'll round to .9, which rounds to 1.0. Damn, Calc 4 is sweet.

Great, I'll use your math and conclude that I have more money than I actually do - so let me know if you are selling any parts for a 1g that I need, I'll get em cheaper ... hahhaa
