    apparently the breather pipe needs to be re-run under all other pipes over the throttle, I didnt bother, I just went to Supercheap and bought some rubber tube, cut 3 inches of it, and made up the gap using the tube.

    I cut the pipe near the throttle body and inserted some rubber hose.
    Was a much better fit and once the engine cover was put back on it even looked factory.
    IMO this is the worst part of the OTR, I gave this feedback (along with poor filtering, now fixed by VCM with the filter bracket) to VCM over 18 months ago..
    Something like this:

    The best thing to do is replace the factory PCV tube with a length of 3/8" fuel line.
    First cut the plastic tubing off of the factory end elbow clip, attach the 3/8" line to that clip with a clamp, then push the other end after rerouting on to crank value, a perfect fit.
    A great factory look.

    I keep forgetting to check mine. Was popping out every now and then but not looked for ages, guess i'll be doing that in 10 mins!

    They are easy to fit.. biggest bitch..

    Removing factory airbox over the screws
    Putting the rubber coupling over the manifold.
