oil catch can collects the oil that would normally go in the intake manifold and clog up the tb.

So what i said then :P lol

It also takes fumes from the combustion that doesnt go into the exhaust.

Small point, it is a closed loop system and when I had a breather pipe fail on mine the idle was all over the place, by rerouting the pipes are you not going to cause issues.

as long as you plug up any holes in the inlet track then there should be no problemo
