What are these?

You know this is a really awful situation, but everyone on here has helped a lot, i want to thank Mac Autosports for taking my calls all day, and Kenmasters you have helped a ton. So since i'm digging in the engine bay lets figure out what some of the things are that are no longer connected for some reason...............

it'd spray oil everywhere and it would suck in unmeterd air. (If i'm wrong on that please correct me). but the BCS no it shouldn't be connected your running a Manual Boost Controller. the BCS in the picture is the stock one which will cause your car to run stock boost. On my car the electrical plus stayed plugged in but the vacuum nippled should not be connected.

You have a hallman in place of the BCS, PCV will spray oil everywhere and you will experience poor vaccum.

I wasn't going to say anything but it looks dirty, a K&N should look redish when clean like when you first got it, somehow maybe it's not getting cleaned right???

If the pcv valve blew off, cap the end it connects to on the intake manifold to fix the leak, get a fitting that will fit in the hole and either buy a catch can, or just run a tube down to the ground from the fitting.
