Hey
I have put a breather on the celica when I bought my intake I put it on the valve cover where it runs to the throttle body. I was told by a few friends that it is illegal even if it is doing the same thing as a hose. Supposedly it is a 150 dollar fine. Can anybody straighten me out? I was think of just asking a cop I know. |

yeah, but they pvc system is designed to be there for a reason. there is a certain amount of Vac that the motor has to maintain to run right. when you vent, you loose that vac and the pvc system isint doing its job like it was designed to.
running that line vented dosnt give you any benefit for performance. you will not gain 1hp from it. most people do it on turbo cars, cause they are to cheap to buy a basic catch can and would rather have oil pilling onto their tranny then in the intake. -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned
