How is this? In the picture below you can see a tube run from the bottom right of the front valve cover to the intake tube between the airbox / throttle body. It is used to suck crankcase fumes from the block back into the intake for emissions purposes. I imagine that even though the airbox / filter doesn't introduce much restriction, it does introduce a little, and that is enough to create vacuum (minimal, minimal vacuum.)
Why do people just post what they are thinking? Without thinking.
