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?
