FTE'r @JimmyWayne23 appears to have made his own version of the CCV mod in the post linked below.

FTE'r F0rdC0wB0y went with the International draft tube in one of his 7.3L's. Not really in line with your question, but a great option if you are going to delete the CCV tube to the intake.

Alternatively, take some measurements and get some angles and go to a parts store to build your own draft tube. I did a similar thing when I went to a T4 kit and needed a much longer and angled CCV tube.

Flip the doghouse around the other way and run straight 3/4” hose out to the firewall, over the brake booster and down under the truck.
The upward slope away from doghouse will help oil vapors condense and drain back to engine instead of blowing all over under the truck.
Cold climates beware of places in a longer hose that water can condense and freeze - blocking the tube.

I bought the specific grade (oil resistant) hose, a brass coupling nipple, some hose clamps, and a set of CCV doghouse orings. Turn the doghouse around. Loop the hose up over the master cylinder and keep a downward slope to the exit point along the frame. Mine exits right in front of the fuel tank.

Hey SSJ I was cleaning the spider yesterday and I tried to put compressed air through the small port that has the blue cap on it in this picture and it seemed to be completely clogged.

There's an orifice in that port (at the wall of the spider). It's only 1-2mm wide so any air you blow in there will feel like it's clogged.

Nope. Many of us have deleted it.
I got tired of it once it started to crack and peel so deleted it for a better appearance (and to stop nicking my fingers on the edges).
I don't know how much heat it actually insulates (in or out of the pipe) but it does insulate some sound. IIRC I could hear the turbo a little more after taking the insulation off.
