Your ROV hose ( stock ) goes to a Aluninum elbow that should have a wire connected to that aluminum fitting attached near steering post and wondering what that wire is for and what your plan is to do with that fitting? Going by memory on mine and just for information purposes I did not do a roll over delete yet and after 800 miles this winter there was only a very small amount of oil upon inspecting after season and not feeling its much of a problem like it was on my 2017…

OK. I'll probably just leave that one there then. I am probably going to put a tune on it eventually... but stick with the stock intake.Small hose comes from valve cover and serves as a crankcase breather. When putting a CAI, I put a filter on this hose, so it can breathe, but won't make a mess
Are you talking about the actual heated ROV itself? I haven't looked for it yet but I could see that having a single wire to it for the heater since the body would be grounded.Your ROV hose ( stock ) goes to a Aluninum elbow that should have a wire connected to that aluminum fitting attached near steering post and wondering what that wire is for and what your plan is to do with that fitting?

Many/most CAI's have a nipple where that small hose from breather goes. In my experience, there's little to no oil vapor coming from valve cover. If there is, IMO the engine has a problem.OK.

Yes, I know. The TD CAI on my 17 has the nipple you are referring to.Many/most CAI's have a nipple where that small hose from breather goes. In my experience, there's little to no oil vapor coming from valve cover. If there is, IMO the engine has a problem.

I just followed the hose and this is what it looked like to me.. But not sure if thats the intention? I DK for sure going by memory.OK. I'll probably just leave that one there then. I am probably going to put a tune on it eventually... but stick with the stock intake.
