DIY 2006 SI Turbo Related: Fuel Injector and Rail Removal/Installation (PIC Heavy) - Page 2

PrivateTune · 12-06-2006, 11:59 PM

I will save all the instructions for future reference.I have some questions for you. I saw there are two tiny air filters one below the fuel line, the other by the crank cover. What are those for and what's the purpose of changing them to filters?

Thanks A Lot

They are breather filters (not needed if you have the stock intake) that replaced the two stock lines that ran to the intake plumbing. Once the lines were removed, you place the breather filters on the pipes that stick out where the lines were previously connected.

The pipe for the crankcase vent (upper one) has a slightly larger diameter than the second. It is worth pointing this out as you may need to buy a third filter that has a larger rubber grommet to swap if you want to have two of the same filters connected to both pipes.

Here is a very useful link that provides a wealth of information to consider should you decide to upgrade the fuel feed or return lines:

[edit]Don't use breather filters on either of the above mentioned connection points. Instead, run some hose from these connections back to the intake track so that only metered air enters these connections. If you do use breather filters, then a cold start idle will be rough and it will also allow for unmetered air to enter the crankcase which will eventually be sent out of the PCV connection and into the combustion chamber.
