Breathers that have check valves to prevent unmetered air from entering the crankcase are fine when you are providing metered makeup air to the clean side (like from the CAI intake tube). On the other hand, breathers that have check valves that restrict air flow out of the breather (like RX used to sell) do not allow the high crankcase pressure that supercharged engines build up when in boosted (WOT) operations. The pressure will find another route to exit the crankcase, usually that will be the main seal. Take the breather off and try to blow through the bottom of the breather. Also I would be very surprised if you are not loosing boost because of a slipping front blower belt.

Thanks for the info! I will address the belt issue. As far as the breather, that is good to know. ADM did all of my work, so I just assume it is safe. I will take it off and try to blow thru it.

Nice! How far up did you have the clear bra go up to? I want to get one installed but I'm debating where up to. I'm thinking just the front bumper. I really don't want to see the end line of the bra in the middle of my hood.

i did the whole front fascia, headlights, a-pillars, mirrors, behind all the wheels, door cups, gill area, and the gas tank lid. Also i stopped mine around half way on the hood and fenders, it is really barely noticeable. ill try to take some pics when i get time.
