Re: Pcv valve ???

One is a PCV valve, one is an elbow, unless someone has done something dumb.

Re: Pcv valve ???

You need the elbow, or at least something on that side to let clean air in. The factory setup is the cleanest possible way to do it.

And clean your valvecover on a regular basis.

No can do.
On your MAF car , PCV air must come from the TB port ( metered);
otherwise you just have a big air leak @ idle

Re: Pcv valve ???

Ok so what you are saying is to get a breather woth a vac port to hook up to the throttle body an also use that as a oil fill this will be on the passenger side of the motor an for the drivers side it will be the pcv valve hooked up to manifold vac port right under the fuel rail on the drivers side of the intake manifold
