don't expect much, the only reason for a crank breather is if you absolutely don't want to recirculate any vapors from your car (which shouldn't be a problem because you don't have a high-compression race engine). while the intake manifold can eventualy line itself with oil, any recycled oil that gets into the airstream would just effectively lower your octane rating a tad, again, not a problem considering the car has supposedly little to no modifications to it. you would probably get more gain if that breather weighs less than the PCV valve and the plumbing that goes into the intake stream. other than that, you're just pumping oil vapors into the air.
