Does anyone know why Alta runs it's hose to the TB? Why couldn't it run back into the gray hose from which the black hose hose from the valve cover were connected to (wordy, hee hee)? Where does the gray hose go to? The intake manifold, right?



Thanks,
Sid

Nevermind....I figured it out. Now my question is...why not plug the vent tube to the CAI and run both vents into the gray line which appears to be going into the plenum prior to the SC? It would seem better not to get any residual vent gas that might still have oil vapor into the TB...right? No? Thanks anyway.

For emissions. If you do not have DEQ testing you could just put a vent on the catch can. That's what the racers do. But to be legal the crankcase vent should go through the intake which also puts the vented gas through the rest of the emission controls.

Sid,
I know this is OT, but which coil are you using. I just recieved mine from Pilo, and it's just plain black. Like the red/orange much better
Thanks,
Jim
