Its just a breather pipe that goes from the back of the block to the rocker cover.

What do you want it for?

There is a cam cover breather on most engines. The normally breathes into the inlet pipework, so if you fit an induction kit you need to vent this. You can use a little filter, or just poke it down the back of the engine or into a catch tank.
