[Vwdiesel] Breather hose to front of block?

[James Hansen]

Okay, who ever I had corresponded with, should PM me at this point.  :-))

I would think it lessens the oil mist some, by getting blowby directly out
of the pan area, rather than making it wend it's way from the bottom all the
way to the top of the engine through little passages. Should also lower the
pan pressure and make a tiny hp gain I would think. However, if you gots
blowby, you gots blowby, and other than filtering the oil out (which is what
the tdi's should really have) it goes to the intake. The mist is fine enough
it just stays suspended I think.
