just got a quick question , my agu daily has started losing or lost boost, so had a quick look and found a split pipe, its the one thats a t piece, the small pipe goes to inlet manifold via a valve, and the other two are part of the breather side, one works its way to rocker cover and tip the other to the crankcase.  Which I know you do away with this t piece/valve it you do the catch tank mod, which I should really my finger out and order the parts, but I was thinking do I really need it as vw want 25 quid for this bit, or can I block off the inlet manifold pipe, and link the two others across, and pull my finger out and other a catch tank. cheers

It breathes to the inlet to release pressure in the crankcase.

Block it up and you'll blow seals.

Not the marine kind though.
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.
