Just recently completed a rebuild in my vlct, it has a low mount gt35/40 internal gated turbo in the factory positing, but one of the bits on top of the rocker cover hasnt got anything attatched to it, is there supposed to be something there? This is the only pic i have of it atm, in the pic you can see the first one but the second one is out of shot.
thanks

Yeah thats how mine is, it wouldnt hurt to get the thread tapped out and get a larger fitting put in either, help it breath a little more, get a right angle one put in, then you can run the hose down towards the back of the engine and hide the catch can easier.
does it matter if there isnt anything attatched for the moment? i only noticedf it a couple nights ago. thanks for the help mate, have u got a pic of yours by any chance?
the one at the front has a one way valve in it, take it off and weld the hole over (as in the bit you take off, its steal not aloy then put it back in) or get a bolt the right size, then plumb both into a catch can.
It wont affect your driving, dirt and sh1t could get in though, and If your engine breaths a bit of oil, it will go every where.
Thats the best one I have as there are no pipes in the way.

if you leave the front one connected to the plenum and leave the back one open to atmosphere then the engine will be drawing in unmetered air under vacuum.
The back one is normally connected to the intake pipe before the turbo and after the AFM.

very true
it must be plumbed into the turbo intake pipe, however the hose needs to be after the AFM, so if the AFM is in the cooler pipes then it wont work, Or remove the PCV valve and run both to a catch can.
