Your search skillz leave a lot to be desired if you can't even find what PCV stands for. No real need to mess with it unless you are bored. If done improperly, you'll be blowing out seals and contaminating your engine oil with moisture and other nasties.

Yea I meant I only searched this website and couldnt find the info in the forums. Would it be worth doing the mod now even if it was just for looks? Or will I cause more problems and just leave it alone.
