Can anyone tell me where this goes and possible post real time pictures. At the moment I have a min air filter on it. The vacuum from this is so loud and I need to know either where it goes or if I should just leave it as is with the mini filter on it.

that is the air intake for the Idle control valve. it should be connected right after your filter but before the turbo inlet. it needs fresh air. When I got my car this hose was blocked off and linked to another vacuum line. the car idled like ****.
on the 3SGTE there are several things that need filtered air besides the main inlet to the turbo. -the idle control valve -the boost control VSV (unless you disconnected it and used an after market boost controller). this is the air source for bleeding the waste gate actuator to allow higher boost. -one of the vacuum lines from your power steering pump. when you turn your wheels, a switch on the pump creates a vacuum leak causing a higher idle. -the crankcase breather. That strange black box on the top of the engine. Sometimes people put little filters on this. don't know much about it. Mine has a dedicated hose attaching just after the filter. all of these (except maybe the breather) feed air into the engine so filtering that air is a good idea. Should you need pictures or a diagram I can provide it. Hope this helps. |
