there too.. this is a phase 1 car only. .

70mm one end and 60mm the other iirc..

you can get specific replacements.. the idle valves takes it's air from it..

A lot of induction kits come with a piece of pipework that replaces this.
You won't get much in the way of gains, but underneath there's a breather into it and this is very flimsy and often breaks off so worthwhile replacing.
