i forgot about the air pumps on the obd2 ti's... if its for the air pump you can put a little filter on it. if its for the crankcase venting, you cant do that i believe. the difference is that the air pump sucks air from the airbox, it only needs a supply of filtered air. the crankcase vent actually sends air and vapors TO the intake to be burned.

so does the hose you are talking about hook directly to the airbox? or does it hook to a rubber flexible intake tube?
