And what is a PVC? Last i heard it was still poly vinyl chloride, and had nothing to do with engines or mechanics.


I don't know, what is a mate?

Mate is a term of endearment in Australia. Over here, chances are youll be called mate whether someone likes you or not. Its nothing to get upset about, and youre just being a sook if you do. Simple things in life should never be taken so seriously, especially on the internet.

Stress is the number one killer in this country so im told, and i had a very minor stroke a few weeks ago, so im staying stress free from now on ;)

Thats horsecrap. The PVC is fed from the left side of the manifold, and the fresh air comes from the throttle body (on some years). The fresh air circuit is cast into the bac side of the throttle body, the airfoil has nothing to do with that.


No, the PCV fresh air is in front of the throttle blades. Right between the throttle bores up top where the airfoil bolts in. (If it fed from the vacuum side, and the pcv enters the vacuum side, there'd be not much of a pressure difference, and no flow.) At wot, there isn't much manifold vacuum, so the PCV system doesn't flow much. All it's really doing then is allowing blowby to escape through the fresh air connection and through the pcv. If you block the fresh air vent, you will increase crankcase pressure slightly at WOT.

Thanks mate, i knew i wasnt dreaming!! HAHAHA!!

Anyway, i dont think ill say much more, i saw what i saw and ON THE APPLICATION THAT IS THE C4 CORVETTE which is what is the question here i wouldnt bother with it.
