awesome! good thing I could glue the broken parts back together--- so does the lack of this cause the ecu to run rich, lean, or some kind of limp mode??
Well i reinstalled it and took it for a test drive, and the car runs much better now. There is no more hesitation, and the car runs much better. I had questioned if it was my cai, or a combo of both. It turns out, I think, that it was lack of a purge system.
It was like night and day. So morale of the story, don't do this unless your tuned and have too big of a turbo that pops hoses of this system. If you are tuned, from information gathered above, it gains no hp but does not affect performance either. If you are running un-tuned with this modification-- you are likely to see less performance and the car run like crap. Mine hesitated like it was stuck every 1000 rpms or so. really crappy
