   I've recently been figuring out about trying to fit a raceland induction kit to a mk1 vtr and I've came across a small problem which im not sure about and I havent read anything about it on the forums so I thought I'd stick a picture of the problem on here and get some answers as to what to do.
   
   In the pic is the standard air box and what I want to know is what to do with the pipe the arrow is pointing at when fitting a raceland induction kit?

   Thanks for any help as it is much needed.

   There is a pipe on the raceland you can put it on but mine was at the wrong angle so still ended up putting a breather on.

   If the thin crinkle one is the one i think you mean that is the Oil Breather pipe

   The thick pipe at the back is the crank case breather. Not sure if you can put a breather on that... when I fitted my BMC I attatched it back into intake as it is when standard.
   Hope this helps.

   Pop the '?' piper into the induction kit, then for the pipe going to the rocker, stick a breather on the rocker and block the other side of the pipe that goes to the manifold.
   
   Jobs a good en

   i didnt get a breather with the kit so i guess you have to buy them seperate then? if so is there a certain make i should go for or should i just play safe and go for the green one?
