Is this ok for the PCV system?

[mizak82]

Hi guys,

I bought this car about 6 months ago. I was doing some research after my dipstick kept popping out the other day, and came across a lot of info on PCV systems for these cars and their functionality.

I attached 2 pictures, one is of the tiny air filter on my valve cover that according to my reading is suppose to be recirculated to the the Air intake.. Is this bad?

and the second one is a picture of I dont know what.. I removed my coolant overflow reservoir to take the picture, its located under my air intake.. That is where the hose is running from my intake to, but one hose is cut going to nothing.. Is it a mini catch can or something?

How bad is this set up? any advice would be appreciated..

hey guys.. I just replaced the pcv valve with an OEM one and bought a new dipstick... car was running fine through the day.. I got in at night and it was idling lower than usual.. opened the hood this morning and the dip stick was sticking out again..

i only have 8lbs of boost.. what else could be causing this issue?

i have this same problem and i have the one way check ball type pcv valve on mine, mine doens smoke or use any oil or anything whats the possibility of it being rings or valves in this scenario??

yes but you want it where it will let air out but no tin correct? if you install it where it wont let air out it wont solve the problem. so mine could have been installed backwards by the previous owner when he tried fixing the problem....??
