i've been looking at getting an open filter air intake and the pipe between the MAF and turbo and the one on machv says it doesnt' come with places to put the vaccum lines that go to the intake pipe and that you can just terminate them by capping off or putting a breather filter on them. my first question is how would you go about doing that and second how would it effect the engine as far as idle and driveability go? TIA

Well if it doesnt come with the line then what exactly are you capping off ? I dont understand.
I have a injen intake and have the vaccum line capped off with a bolt and it idles just fine.

It's the hose that goes from the left side of the valve cover down into the snorkel. You can either put a small filter on the end or get a catch-can. I have a catch-can that has an outlet that goes back onto the intake but it's not necessary.
BTW: I would suggest getting a catch-can simply because I do sometimes have oil in the can that would make a mess of a filter if there was one there.

i have the catch can already done but i was wondering about the other 2 or 3 hoses that run to the intake? what are they and how would i go about "terminating" them?

I think there is only 3 total. The one from the valve cover, the return tube from the BOV and the other is from the charcoal canister. It's just emissions crap. Junk it. (unless you're a dirty tree huggin hippie)
