my three way breather hose that sits on top of the valve cover has a hole in it about the size of a quarter. it doesn't look like a tear or rip but more like it was melted through with the tip of a fat cigar. does anyone know if this is a common occurrence or something i should be worried about.

i got a big hole in mine too... right in the bend going into the valve cover. doesnt seem to be an issue

 

its part of your pcv system. If you dont fix it, you will have oil all over your engine bay and soon lose performance. The best alternative i have seen is using the hardpipe that comes in a ATC and AWD (both 2000 cars) instead.

 

...crap haha, sucks that the OEM hose is like 70 bucks

 

ok so i have been thinking... mine has a hole as well... not huge but its a good size, think i could just use some heat tape on it? at least as a temporary fix?

Recently had to replace a hose in that SAI cluster due to a large hole. Hose cost $56.00. All the more reason to eliminate that whole mess.

 

cool. thanks. i think i'll go ahead and get that eurojet one.

 

does the eurojet one fit both 180s and 225s?

 

180's with AWP engines
