Default HELP PLEASE.... *PIC*

Just fitted the oil breather to my S2 - it's exactly the same one as in the picture below.

All the pipes are sorted EXCEPT for the left hand elbow on the throttle body [ringed in the pic], where the fook is it sposed to go to?

It normally goes to the small breather that attaches to the underside of the crank case emmissions valve?

Do not connect to the breather at all!. Block it off or use it for a boost or act gauge. I had mine connected to my breather until Karl pointed out that you are actually pressurising the breather system with boost if you connect it up Not good. One single pipe with no 't-off' should go to the ECU, the other to boost or act gauge.

I've got the oil breather on mine as well. Before I fitted the breather I used to have a 3way plug in the hose where one went to the ecu one went to the boost gauge & the other went to the elbow on the throttle body. I then fitted the breather & put the boost gauge on the left elbow instead.

HTH.
