Running a VC breather will not cause idle, lean or any issues. By running a VC breather you help relieve Crank case pressure and save your rear and front main seals.

Another way the breather will affect fuel trims is the un-burnt hydrocarbons that get sucked out of the crankcase are programmed into the fuel maps. That vapor that comes out is combustable to a degree.

well this may be an interesting test...i've had a funky idle ever since i installed the kit, of course i've done fuel rail, mpi, removed the crankcase hose and put on the filter..anyway, let's see if this changes anything....?
So I was in an Advanced today and saw these. I always used to pass them off as useless engine dress-up but after reading all this I see there may be some positive (and negative) implications from getting one of these. I went ahead and decided not to buy one (the fact that there was a factory hose there had to mean something) but I'm still confused whether getting one is a good idea or not, and yes I've read the past five pages. I mean, has anyone actually seen a buildup of oil and whatnot in their CAI/hardpipes? Just curious...

I'm also curious. Just bought hardpipes and an intake, but the intake doesn't have a connection for the hose. I was planning on getting one welded on, but based on some feedback, I may just go as is.

I know everyone has their theory on if its good or bad. Frankly, I don't see the difference of having a small silicone tube attached to the intake (as in the stock set up) verses a tiny air filter. To me it seems like the same thing on a different scale. I mean you either have it hooked up to a huge filter or a small one. It draws in the same air from under the hood. The only difference is when air is vented out of the crankcase it doesn't get sucked back in the engine. I can't imagine the volume of air that is vented out could be considerable enough to change engine idle or performance. But maybe I'm wrong.
