Hey i was looking through one of these import tuners and i came across this photo of an integs engine and i notice that he used two mini breather intakes in stead of connect the large upper tube that connects to the engine. One connected on to the intake by the engine/throttle body and the other one was on the engine at the front where the tube is suppose to connect to. Sorry this is hard to explain. But if you understand do you know if thats better for your car or is it better to just stick with the tube?

i think that has something or other to do with making it so hot coolant doesn't go through your throtlle body and heat up your air or something to that extent

you mean he had one of those breathers on his intake where the crankcase is supposed to vent to, plus a breather on the crankcase where the line comes out of?

Wouldn't be the first time I've seen it. Some kid had it on his 3rd Gen GS around here a while back.AFAIK, there is no good reason for it... maybe it lets a tiny bit of extra air in? who knows. Maybe he just couldnt' find a cap for it? Really anybodys guess.
