yeah take the breather off the filter. you can still run the line off the back of the valve cover to the intake if you wish. but if not then it needs to be plugged

at the time when tuning yes. but if i plug it i would need to get another tune cuz there is a different amount of air entering the intake right?

yea obviously .. I don't know why you don't have that going to the valve cover like you should .. or why he would even say anything about you leaving it like that

"vince:that will cause an unmetered air leak
digital0785: yea even if you tune it like that it's still not good right
vince: it's tuning over an air leak
vince: the tune can be made to compensate for it, in most cases but there may be transient trim issues"

via the conversation I just had with him lol

you're tune will be messed up and you're not getting as much power as you should be .. if you can't run it to the valve cover / don't have a catch can just cap it for now
