Hey guys, buttoning up the last few bits on the new engine before I drop it in. Having trouble tracing down the part name / number for the angled piece in the stock rear inlet that connects to the pcv breather hose on the valve cover.

Any help in the right direction would be appreciated, thanks.

This?

Yeah I think that's the one.

Jesus fuck, $150 for it? I regret tossing the old inlets now. Can I just plug the new inlet and run a hose off the breather down as a dump? Not sure how important the damn thing is.

Should be fine to run without the heater element. I'm running without one although I have relocated inlets, basically it goes PCV flapper elbow off the valve cover, connected to a hose that runs straight down to the rear turbo inlet. No heater or anything.

Your biggest problem is going to be sealing up the connection where this heater element plugs into.

So did you do something like run a hose off the pcv elbow to the rear inlet and use a dual sided barb fitting where the heater element would go?

Maybe get the part from the local junk yard?

Man we have 3 pick-n-pulls and 3 u-pulls here in Kansas City but not a single e90/92 in any of them, nor have I even seen one this entire year and I'm at them all quite often. Full to the brim with e38s e39s e34s and e36s though that's for sure.
