Just a breather hose? Im talking about the one that goes into the induction hose after the maf.



If so can i just put a breather filter on the engine end and block off the hole on the induction end?

Its just someone has botched it in the past and i dont trust it one bit

I think it is the feed for the Idle control valve.
If you block it or fit a breather filter to it the car will not run. It will start and run for about 8 secs and then stall.

 

so i have to have the dodgy pipe going into the induction hose? its just such a bodge holding it in. Hows the hose supposed to be held in?

 

 

Isn't that the return hose from the boost control solenoid i.e feeds the air bled away from the actuator back into the system.
If you block it you will only run 0.6bar boost.
