Bought a car with an ABF engine fitted.

There's breather pipe that has no pipe on it!

Choices:  Do I simply run it to a catch tank, or what would happen if I fed it into a Y pipe fitted to the pipe behind it that runs back into the inlet tract?

Run it in behind the air filter for the easiest solution, or to a catch tank.  It's a breather hose from the block, so will huff oil everywhere unless routed properly.
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

Thanks, mate!  So drill another hole into the tract between the air filter and the throttle body, and not try feeding it into the other pipe there?   Catch tanks are all very well, but they get full after a while...  More maintenance!

H'mmmm, think you should be OK joining in to that pipe, which I *think* is the ISV feed.

Might get more crud into the ISV though, rather than going straight to the inlet.

Straight to the inlet it is, then.

Thx
