Hi,
I bought my car with several existing modifications including the over the radiator intake / k&N filter. I've noticed this open breather hose on the LH valve cover. It has a vacuum that builds the longer you hold your finger over it. I would have assumed the opposite - just blow by gasses and I can't see the cover connected to the intake anywhere... Logic would suggest this hose would normally connect to the intake or throttle body somewhere but there is no where obvious. Should I drill hole into the alloy air filter housing and add a fitting to connect it into there? Ive been browsing other posts that seem to mostly relate to installing oil catch cans but haven't seen anything that looks quite like this setup, possibly because i have the "fly by wire" electronic throttle?? Any suggestions would be very much appreciated, a vacuum leak like that can't be good
Car is 2005 VZ SS 5.7L LS1
