Cheers,
Mike

Don't worry, I'd be asking the same thing. Check the vendors to see a pic of a throttle body.

down below the the drivers side airhorn there is a "y" vacuum conector this is where the line to the airbox connects to. it helps to have a long pair of hemostats to reconnect this hose. it is a royal pita.

The "little hose" will only fit one way and it should be very obvious what it connects to when you lay it in there

O.K. I thought I was stupid, that is not true, I'm just frickin BLIND. I can't see were to coinnect, tried feeling around still nothing. Is the nipple actually on the throttle body, or connecting with another hose. I found one smaller hose already connected to the body. Should I need to take anything off to make this easier.

Cheers

There is a small hose on the the left front of the air box, on the top part. The hose itsself is about 4-5 inches long.

It goes to a small 'T' piece which then goes to the inlet manifold. It is located below where the intercooler airhorn attaches. Remove the intercooler & you'll see it easier.
