The natural vacuum of the engine should be plenty to keep pressure from building up. In fact, evacuating the crank case of pressure like this actually improves ring seal.<br /><br />On my blown car I route this tube back to the inlet side of the blower (with a fuel filter inline to trap any oil that comes with it). <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
