Don't know what its called off the top of my head, but if its broken, you'll have a massive vacuum leak (post-mass airflow sensor) and your car will run like crap.

you dont even need the hose just plug it on the intake and put a breather filter on the elbow coming from the valve cover.i know several people who do that and have had no problems.

what it is a pcv valveit rerouts blowby back into your intake. you can plug it but i don't see why you would just make sure that there are no leaks mine was just a filter on there. i wouldnt reccomend that though. just get some new hose.

Its not actually a PCV, Just a crank case vent. Keep the tube where it is. its there for a reason.

i know more of the KA24DE owners are doing this because it's hard to access their PCV... this method that Klits### is stating prevents less gunk build-up on the throttle body valve <shrugs>
