Hi everyone,
Looking at improving the cold air intake piping and am looking at pics for the valve cover to air cleaner separator.

Some pages read have just vented to atmosphere and others go to great lengths to make it work.

I've not used one but thinking about it now.

What are the pros n cons with this?

Thanks

Venting it into the atmosphere is just wrong. It is basically oil vapor which burns well and should be routed into the intake. Compare that to EGR flow which is basically soot and should never enter the intake.
