Alright someone just posted this shit on a forum. This has to be the biggest scam since the intake turbine shit. It's a "valve cover breather" that replaces your oil cap. This seems like it would only cause issues
>>

lets air in through the oil cap?

seems like an excellent way to lose compression and contaminate the oil
>>
>>14960240
yeah seriously, its like an aftermarket vacuum leak
>>
You've never seen a valve cover breather before?

Granted, they're usually separate from the oil fill cap, but still.

>>14960208
tarbo cars have valve cover breathers, but usually they feed back into the intake.
>>
>>14960208
don't those function the same as a pcv?
>>
They work great on higher hp setups. Thought about getting them for my car soon. I've had them before without issues on past car.

>>air contaminates oilyou fucking wat mate?

Holy fuck /o/ is retarded.

>>14960208

It has a check valve in it. It reduces the fuel economy benefits of the PCV system but reduces oil intake into the intake manifold.
