Hey Guys,

My question is from my picture tube A vents from the valve cover(its just covered by the strut bar in the picture) am I able to directly route it to the line C which is currently capped off? What is the black canister labeled B? I’ve heard from a friend that its useless and I can just directly bypass it and remove it…true?. Thanks for your help guys!

I know lots of people have done this to tidy up the engine bay. I havn’t played around with an sr in a week or two now but I seem to recall a tube going into the bottom of that canister, thats where you’d connect that hose from the valve cover to. (assuming it exists)

It is an oil separator. It “can” be removed, but why would you? Just paint it. There is a tube coming out from the bottom of the can. Use a similar black hose and hook it up to “C”, assuming that is coming out of the block. If so, it just runs there.

I think C is where your AIV connects to your stock Turbo elbow.

The bottom hose is almost directly under that can.

IF you do remove it make sure you add a catch can on the front hose on that Tee and make sure the other half of the can is hooked up to before your turbo

It isn’t going to get any hotter than an aftermarket one.

So you ran a section of hose from “A” to “C” and eliminated “B” without any problems?

This spencer?

Anywho, you can take it out if you want, but you might as well just hook it up properly with sections of hose. It’s kinda like a ghetto catch can.
