    Default 1GGTE cam cover breathers

    On 1GGTE inlet cam cover there are 2 breather outlets. One is the main breather that is plumbed back into the intake 'T' junction before the turbos. The other is plumbed to a barb under the throttle body. What is this for? Can I do away with this and plug up the barb on the throttle body?

    can do away with it, its just a breather that evacuates pressure out of the engine and as a side effect sucks in oil mist into the inlet manifold which them cause detonation.
    they are on the engine only for emissions purposes the same as charcoal cannisters.
