air intake pipes, where do they go?

ive fitted a blitz air filter, and my decats on the way! sounds great. im getting a dump vave, and was wondering where the pipe that comes from the air filter large pipe and goes back to the re circulating valve will go when i fit the bov? do i block the end up, or does it go somewhere else?
cheers

Re: is darth vader in my boot??

dont get me wrong, it sounds great, just want to make sure that it sounds right. ive just removed the air box, do i need to remove the other box thats attached to the air intake, the one that looks like a big black lung?

Re: help!! have i bought a dog of a turbo????

vinny, i dont have any smoke, just the oil in the 2nd chamber.
i think its just the gasket on mine, but a local expert recomended changing it as a 1st option, but if theres smoke aswell it may well be a piston ring, but im no expert

Re: help!! have i bought a dog of a turbo????

cam cover? is that the rocker cover, because thats leaking to, as well as that pipe on the far right that just seems to pull out easily.
im not to up on my tech knowledge about the engine yet, so is it something i can do myself, or a specialist, or maybe even toyota?
