There is nothing wrong with making the engine breath better especially when you go to a bigger displacment, however more air more of a mist of oil comes with it. If you have too much oil mist going into the engine from the breathers it WILL cause detonation.
The ''Nose Bleed Kit'' is for Evo only...not a TWcam.
Ultra your still getting a mist of oil out of the breathers but it goes unnoticed because of the closed air box.
You know I'd thought that even as I did it. As I said though, the kuryakyn spacer ring keeps it from getting to my aircleaner so no drips....and I use seafoam fairly regular to help remove carbon that may build up as a result of the oil burning. I've played more with my ignition setting and come across one that seems to be working really well. No lack of power, yet its not so ping prone in the lower rpms even when temps are above 90*.
