Well you might get flamed but I'm sick of newb's getting flamed, so....That breather hose from your left cam cover doesn't have to be hooked up but if I was you I would hook it up into your intake coming into your turbo or run an oil catch of some sort until then pick up a breather filter....To answer your second question....thats your oxygen sensor.....and yeah you want to hook that up for sure.... Good luck with your CA...I miss mine already

[SN33KZ]

Any elaboration on why my car hiccups/misfires when I spool hard? Like i said its running rich. I have an N60 MAF. will hooking that up and eprom tuning fix it? What else could it be, has to be air/fuel related because it only does sit when I spool hard/accelerate fast. is there any other way to tune my car besides eprom or safc ?

Running the N60 maf will only make things worse unless your setup is needing more capable performance parts. It look stock so I would say no.

In your last pic there is that pipe thing heading towards the block that shouldn't hook up to anything, and the sensor underneath it is your O2 sensor....it is CRUCIAL that you have that wired up and working properly.

Not having an O2 sensor will mess everything up.

First pic is a hose needed for the PCV system. That needs hooked up. As was previously posted you can put a catch can inline if you want, but somehow the intake of the turbo needs connected to the valve cover.

The 2nd pic shows 2 items. The one closer to the camera looks like a pipe for the A/C system and isn't needed. The item below it is the O2 sensor and you NEED to have it hooked up. The stock ECU relies on this sensor heavily. The car will run without it, just not well.

there are a million and one things that can make it run rich, as hicups go...... sounds like a coil pack.

I have a bunch at my BFs house in longwood, near carisma.
