Throttle Body Breather Pipe

[Mad Professor 7]

Hi All.

 

Is the Throttle Body Breather Pipe really needed? and if so what is it's use, beside sucking oil fumes back into the engine?

 

I ask as I am looking at removing the pipe and fitting an IAT sensor in it's place.

 

 

thanks for your time.

If your going to keep it you really need to fit a one way valve to it.

Hi, where do you get a one way valve from? Is this the pipe that draws oil into the inlet manifold on hard braking?

you can find one on lots of old cars' engines.

 

it's a little white/black circular piece of plastic with inlet and outlet pipes:

 

 

it should be there to prevent compressed air going into the breather system on boost.

 

p.s. don't forget mad_professor's engine is turbocharged.
