The air pump hose was left open when I bought the car (HKS filter), what do you guys use to block off the hose/opening?

If you block it off, it won't work. If you don't need it to work then remove it. Otherwise put a breather filter on it.

Should've thought of that, I read after searching that I should use a blockoff plate. I put a filter on it today but it feels like it got so much slower, before it used to pull hard as **** after like 6k.
