   rocker cover breather goes into the bolt on filter, the rest you can just leave off.

   i know im being dumb, but i dont understand why to leave them off they must be there for a purpose, and when i leave them off do i need to block the ends off so that the dirty air doesent go through

   one is for the piping on the standard air box that makes the hot air from the exhaust mani into the onlet for cold starts, not needed once you put on the K&N. The other, can't remember what it's for but it's not needed. Just leave it hanging or block it off.
   
   I did that with my ax that had a spi and a K&N. Was fine.

    i have same prob some 1 told me to get a oil breather for it but tthen again i rung some companies and they said its a citroen part only they supply them. other option is to be but a proper induction kit which are from £70 upwards they have a connection for that tube thing to go into hope this helps someway
