..in the middle of a swap and seems there is two breathers on the new block and only one on the 2 liter. Is this true and if so how do I deal with the extra breather. Can we get away with one and plug the other? I hope this is not stupid question. d':tease:
I noticed the same thing.. I honestly can't remember what I did, but I can look at mine as soon as I go home, my block is in my foyer.. I believe I only put the breather bung on the vent located on the passenger side..

That's what we did...just plugged it and now the swap is complete and up and running-thank the Subie gods it started on the first time easily. ONLY issue:surging at idle rather rapidly and the idle is over 1050 rpm? Got any ideas Shoafster'? Dani'!Thumbs Up

Sorry I am a month behind on this topic, but I am pretty positive that you can run like this without any issues on a stock STI short-block. With mine I tried to run both through a Catch-can and back into the inlet pipe, but since I am running Forged pistons, this setup did not allow for enough of the pressure to evacuate the crank, and caused excessive oil burn due to blow-by. I wound up running them both to a catch-can that vents to atmosphere, and then plugged the hole in the inlet pipe. This has worked, and oil burn is down to a minimum!
Humm.. Never thought about that, as I'm also on Forgies.. (CP Pistons) and I have (what I consider excessive) oil consumption due to blow out.. I lose about a quart every 1500 miles. Everyone I have ever talked to about it has never suggested opening up both breathers..
