CUSTOM AIR INTAKE QUESTION

Postby SIMBAT » Fri Dec 13, 2013 3:38 pm

I'll be getting a stainless steel pipe custom made to go from my air box directly to the throttle body shortly, i notice on the passenger side of the car there is a small rubber vacuum hose connected from the engine to the turbulence neutralising box which is located just before the throttle body.

Does anyone know exactly what that hose is for?
I notice if i take it off and put my finger on the hole it slowly builds suction on my finger then after about 10 seconds a not very nice sounding noise comes from the engine, (while idling) i was hoping i could just plug it, because i will have a bit of mucking around extending it and tapping it into the pipe i will have made up... but obviously its something important and it needs to be there.....SO WHAT IS IT??? if you need a picture of it just let me know.
