Default B16A2 Breather Valve Help




Hey guys, I bought an EG with a B16A2 turbo. To register it here in Australia I have to put it back to Stock NA. The previous owner had an Oil Catch can and just left the breather valve open. I put back everything and it idles so bad, and I'm pretty sure because I connected it in this manner. I did the 2 to E-14-1 correctly but I am really confused where the other one goes so I just connected it to a hose directly to the intake manifold (with an arrow), please see attachment. What should be the proper way? I'm lowkey acoustic and I can't understand the diagram. Thank you very much in advance.

If you have a factory PCV valve (pushed directly into the top of the oil separator box) with a piece of hose connected on one end to the PCV valve and the other end on the intake manifold (at the port that you have circled above), it should work just fine. Aftermarket PCV valves typically vent too much air which raises the idle speed... or in the most extreme cases, makes the idle hunt (roll up and down in a regular pattern).
