Default Question about PCV line for the FAST TB

I got a used FAST 90MM throttle body and had a question about the PCV line that runs from the passenger valve cover to the TB, the FAST doesn't have a hookup for it, what do I do about it? Just cap the nipple on the valve cover and let it go? I have the stock PCV system with a catch can. I searched and couldn't get much help.

Thanks

Yes they have, I see more questions about this from Corvette guys. Your options:

1. Make the PCV system non functional and put a small breather on this line (Not a good option in my opinion)
2. Put a nipple in the air bridge or transition hose and run it to there, see the following thread: http://forums.corvetteforum.com/show....php?t=1894968
Don't put this hose in front of the mass air meter or you will ruin it.

So put a nipple in the bellow and run it like that? Howcome you just can't put a cap on the fitting on the valve cover a let it go? Or maybe put a t fitting in the hose that connects to the side of the intake?

Because this is the line that supplies fresh air for the PCV system. To cap it off, you would need to delete your PCV system and run a breather on the crankcase.

They said you can get a small filter to run from an autoparts store, what kind of filter is it?

A small inline filter.
