G'day just wondering if anyone knows what the two vacuum pipes that run behind the crossover pipe are for? i know the first one runs into the rocker cover and the second goes behind the engine somwhere, i found the end of the hose just floating up near the vacuum [_[__ pipe thingy that looks like the above. does anyone know where it should go? i blocked the hose off and the engine seems to idle better but i know it should be in it's proper place, thanks seal.

the one from the rocker cover just exhales crankcase fumes which get sucked into the intake before the turbo , the other hose goes to the charcoal cannister (below the master cylindar) it also ends up going to the intake too before the turbo.

yeah thats what i thought but theres no extra outlet for the hose to go on the canister i just checked, i think somthing else is in it's place, it's an exchange motor and i think someone has messed with the hoses, theres some hoses that come off the canister and go up under the inlet manafold are they the right ones for the canister?
