Just use heater hose. The benefit will be keeping oil out of the intercooler if you have one.

3/4" heater hose is what I used. This keeps oil out of the IC (if you have one) and intake- no more oily goo all over the place.

I reversed dog house on VC, used 3/4" heater hose up over the brake vaccum cannister (so any oil will drain back to VC) down to inside frame rail then 1" to just aft of tank selector switch and cut hose on a 45 degree angle to increase discharge surface area for improved venturi effect.

thats a really good idea.


also, your gonna want to take the tube out of the metal intake part of the intake and plug up the hole.

Hey Robb mine is an F350 CC so it's not too bad, I have heard of some that pipe it into the exhaust aft of the rear axle.

IceBoxFX,

You are correct in respect of the CCV tube that is in the stock aluminium intake, I removed it and made an aluminium plug (with flat stock) and with some RTV and the stock screw to secure it. Have since tossed the whole aluminium (original) intake when I changed out to the newer Black turbo intake boot. Now I run a 7"X9" round Paper filter with aluminized 4" exhaust pipe as an intake, (Long radius 45 degree trimmed to length), into the black turbo intake boot.

john, i have the adapter you will need to replace your aluminum housing, and you also dont have to reverse the ccv housing on the valve cover, it can be left in the stock position.
