The one from the kidney box if i remember correctly just vents oil vapour back into your air intake which i could never really figure out the gains as air is better being as clean as possible so just let vent to atmosphere

Vent to atmosphere, technically environmentally unsound. Like paying people to scrap 10 year old cars and buy new ones is environmentally sound LOL.
