Nope-
stating the obvious tho that you'll want to either remove it or plug the hole do metal bits don't fall into pan
AND
-if you cut the top the cap won't fit
-if you cut the bottom, it won't go back into block
-and you'll want to keep the breather pipe on the side of the neck...

Cut a section out of the middle and use those great welding skills of your's to weld it back together. I can probably come up with a spare one. PM me the measurements from the top of the keg to the top lip of the tube w/o the cap and I'll cut one down for you. Have you thought about using a TII oil fill tube? They have 2 90* bends in them to clear the top mount intercooler.

Or tell Billy what you're looking for. He'll do one up for you in shiney chrome I bet.
Seriously, I've thought about removing it altogether. What do we need it for, other than that one vacuum port mounted on the side of it?

I made mine I used a billet oil filler neck off one of my old vw engines it cost about $15 then I turned the od down to fit in the motor. It looks nice and was cheap. I did a thread on it but it is beyond my computer knowledge how to attach the link. Just search the threads I posted or I will but some pics up if I can find them

the turbo engines have a short little tube that ends in a flange, and then they have another that bends out of the way.

i think they are trying to keep oil out of the pcv/breather system. it might be more of an emissions thing than anything else, t2 doesnt have anything fancy.

Wonder if we could just remove the tube and replace it with a suitable cap. Put a nipple on the cap for the pcv valve or whatever, and be done with it....
