Trying to find a home for this vacuum line for my '06 MCS R52 JCW.........I really don't want to take my '04 R53 apart to find out where this vacuum line end goes.....

Hoping I can get an answer in time to get this engine fired off tomorrow

Well, either nobody knows about this mysterious vacuum line, or everybody is tired of me asking questions.....LOL

Seeing as I didn't get an answer, I decided to take the front end off of my '04 R53 MCS to see where this vacuum line ends up.....guess what......my R53 does not have this vacuum line pigtail on it........crap.....I was really hoping that my R53 could help me out here, nope....and about a half day wasted on taking the R53 apart and putting it back together.

What I did find out on the vacuum hose is that the R53 does not have the pigtail coming off of the assembly, the little hose just goes to both items in the picture without having the "Y" pigtail.......now I'm wondering if it's specific to the JCW engine option.......

Thoughts??

Maybe the pigtail that goes to the JCW airbox for the vacuum actuator??

 

Hmmmm.....you may be correct.....I don't have the stock JCW air box on the car.....someone put an aftermarket "cold air intake" cone in there.......and I don't remember unplugging this pigtail from anything when I took the engine & trans out.......

This eases my mind a little bit.......but I wasted most of the day taking the front end and other items off of my R53 looking for whatever it plugged into......I guess I will just plug off the end of the line for now and let it sit in the engine compartment........If and when I ever get the stock JCW air box.......I can hook it up correctly, but that will be further down the road

Thanks for the response

Yup the small line goes to the airbox to activate the flap in the JCW airbox. None JCW car doesn't have it

 

Thank you
