Do you need the CCV hose (valve cover hose) connected on the intake air box?

FYI
I did a little experiment last night. I was having over boost problems/cut off because the PVC hose was not hooked up. I put the stock intake box back on, hooked the hose up that goes to the valve cover and had no problems. Interesting.

Re: intake CCV
Thats odd, it shouldnt have anything to do with the PCV and overboosting.. The only reason why the pcv's are hooked up to the intake are to draw the air out by the engine vacuum for emmissions I believe.
I've had mine off and on with a filter on the turbo and an open turbo and no problems at all. :dunno:

Re: intake CCV
Thats the only thing that it could be. Im not really sure why either :dunno:
I tried it with it off. Did a pull up to about 80 mph and hit cut off or some thing (what ever you want to call it). Did that twice. Then I hooked the hose back up. The truck was more responsive, and pulled up to 100 mph with no problem.
