I know I know this has been beatin to death around here but I simply have one question in regaurds to the plumbing of it all. I asked in another thread but no one could help or shed light. What is done with the hose coming off the brake booster that goes to the back of the intake?? Here is a diagram I had done(not by me) to show how to plumb this up.
but it does not show what todo with the hose going from the brake booster to the back of the intake. leave it delete it cap it off ?????? what

The brake booster line stays right where it is...if you take it off, you are going to find the effort required to use your brakes go through the roof. It is a vacuum assist to make the pedal effort easier, and is not part of the crankcase ventilation system.

So it has no affect on the ventilation @ all? Just want to make sure b4 I do the unwrap this weekend. Everything else look good then?
