ok so egr/air is removed and i did bmr's throttle body bypass kit, other wise just bolt on's and stock motor... what is the piece that is to the left of the throttle body, and directly left of the throttle cable half circle thingy... bolted it seems to the metal coolant line, there is a large black wire with a metal "c" shaped strip, that looks cut...

its actually a heat tranfer strap that keeps the PCV warm....hot? .......to reduce condensation in the PCV system......but in time it becomes a razor blade that slices into the boot that holds the PCV
