PTC nipple: anatomy?
Here is a pic of the ptc nipple i am cleaning. I understand basically what it does, however where does the blue arrow go? It does not feed into the inside of the cylinder (red). Is it clogged, or is there a gated mechanism?

It's in the intake tube just before the turbo. If you lean over the engine down form the upper engine mount you should see it down there. It's best to remove the whole intake tube and once out remove the PTC from the tube. If you try to pull it out in place you might damage the rubber fitting it sits in. It's also much easier to reinstall it with the tube out so you can visually inspect it to make sure the rubber seal is good. Some people have used a light coating of silicone sealant at the seal just to make sure there is no leak.
