Default Oil breather

hey guys,

I'm in the process of putting a powerpipe on my car and one of the hoses doesnt fit too well. I would like to cap it off(the part on the intake) and then stick an oil breather on the valve cover....like this one....

anything wrong with doing this? It would make it a lot easier on me....if not I can always just make the hose work

thanks

Its what I did. Put a breather on both valve covers, used the spot on the intake for my boost gauge, capped off the plugs on the vortech intake (power pipe).

What side are you talking about putting a breather on? I have a breather on the driver side, the passenger side PCV is still hooked up and doesnt it go to the intake/TB somewhere? It doesnt go to the powerpipe the IAC does though..

I just got the hoses to fit, kinda makes the one into an oval instead of a circle but I don't think it will affect flow much.

So new Powerpipe and 3.33 pulley from stock Vortech intake and 3.60 pulley.

I'll let you guys know Wed. when I get her dialed in again.

MMR makes a remote breather/catch can that is pretty sweet, about $130.
