It sorta keeps the seals in good health, thats why the big red hose. I threw all the original stuff away before I realized I needed it, and thats the best I could come up with on short notice. Its not broken so I'm not fixing it.

I found this out the hard way on the first 6.2 I turbo'd. On this one, I ran the factory 6.5 CDR tube into my custom/homemade/junkyard scavenged cold air tube!
