Nipples On Intake Tube

[john]

I dump my line to the ground to keep the parts on my car cleaner. Eventually the filter will become very dirty. When that happens, some of the oil can make its way past the filter and into the intake charge. When it enters the intake pipe, it goes through the turbo, throught the ic pipes and into the IC. Everything along the way is going to become oil covered over time. The ic will become less efficient and will heat soak quicker. That is why I dump it instead of re-routing it.

Yeah and when you have the breather get full, it does make quite a mess.

That bottom nipple has been open ever since I got my car (1 yr ago), so I've been running a little lean all this time?Where does that bottom nipple connect to, maybe the hose that was suppose to be there fell off.
I think I'll just put the filter on the cover and block off those two nipples, it'll be easier for me. On average, how quick does it take for the filter to get filled with oil? After thinking about it, dumping the line to the ground doesnt sound like a bad idea. Both ways are almost the same, right?

[Khadgar]

yes

Dumping hasn't caused a mess at all under my hood. Read my first post to see which lines are supposed to be connected and where they go. I have a filter even though I dump to cause a bit of resistance in the line.

I really havent had an issue with the in-line filter either. Change it out every 6k or so. But, to each their own. I may change my setup soon. How much do those little k&n filters run?

I have a spare KN that anyone can have for 5 bucks...
I dont really like them because they leak oil right out of them and onto the thermostat housing...

It looks nice though.

Thats the point I was trying to make earlier. Those little filters make a mess everywhere.

No one else has had a problem with this?
