Attn: All Vg Drivers
I've read like 2 other org members (Chris Cheezer and rupe ) who complained about having a piece of pipe cleaner stuck inside their crankcase breather hose. So while I was under the hood today, I decided to check it out just for sh*ts and giggles. And lo and behold, it was right there.
This thing was stuck in the upper portion of the hose. I suggest you all check it out, I can't think of a possible use for it, and like Chris said, the idle is much smoother now.

well I seriuosly doubt a small restriction in the crankcase/PCV evacuation can't really be that much of a problem, i doubt its a really big deal. probably better since its catches the oily vapor before they got the TB elbow and into the manifold

It's no power gain, but my idle seems better... but then again that could all be a psychological thing. It's really up to you whether to pull it or not. I'm just calling attention to it...

Yeah, I had never noticed that before until 2 weeks ago. I was tearing down a VG, and keeping all of the salvagable hoses, and I noticed that thing in there. I was like WTF? but it is safe to assume it serves a purpose and isn't harming the performance or idle of your car. Leave it alone, I would say.
