You don't need one. They're for cars with the PCV blocked off for intercooled setups.

Many people put them on either for looks, or because they mistakenly think it will increase performance. Like nitehawk said, you don't need one.

If you put one on, you will most likely throw a MAF code.

I made one when my pcv valve went bad. Works good.

Venting through a breather instead of positive crankcase ventialation... Who would have thought.

I wonder if anyone has ever thought of using this with intercooler cores that have blocked PCV?
