Previous Owner 'Capped' Vacuum Lines - Flame Trap Connection to Intake? 700 1989

posted by  someone claiming to be nate on  Mon Feb 25 09:09 CST 2008 [RELATED]

You're saying that the PO rigged it so the "flame trap" is really just an elbow...with no vacuum line running to the intake? The PO of my 740T had done the same thing. There was no noticeable improvement by putting it back to stock. Although for such low cost, plumbing it the correct way was worth it for the placebo effect alone. For whatever reason, 240 turbos had this line capped off.

The FAQs have good information about what things can be done to improve the breathing of the crankcase system, and those often can help oil consumption.
