Well I'm gona give it a try and see. The hose I circled and the other both work under vacum and I know this b/c I had a boost gauge plumbed there for a bit and everything seemed to be just fine. Any line that works under vacum is "essentialy" doing the same thing as having the hose attached to the intake on turbo. The crank case gases should (in theory) go to the can and from there be sucked in to intake plenum wether at idle or boost. It can't do any harm to try this and see how it works out.

Now as far as those hoses being usefull, well the recirc for the bov it totally useless now as I have an HKS SSQV and that only leaves the tube where the breather hose used to be attached. In which case neither of them would be needed and that won't have any effect what so ever on the performance of the engine.

I don't claim to know 100% certain but the thought process is sound here and again, what do I have to lose? :P I can always go back to your set up if there's a need to.

I'll let you guys know how it worked out and take a pic when I get it done.

Once though, thanks very much to all of you for your help and advice with this. I honestly appreciated all of it! :thumbsup:

Take care.

Cheers ;)

      Slight brake pedal stutter after new pads

      Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.

      Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.

      Unknown sound similar to BOV on positive boost with partial throttle RB26

      My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.

      Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
