What is this picture for?

Can anyone tells me what is this empty or open-end connections, this is in the throttle body, is this the blow-off valve vent?
Open connection on the throttle body manifold next to valve cover vent hose

I removed the intake filter box to replaced the brake booster vacuum pump and to add OCC on the valve cover PCV vent when i tried to disconnect the hose at the throttle body, curious if this is part if the blow-off vent, i ran the engine after sll completed and stick my finger in it... no pressure or vacuum felt..

the inlet is closed...I think since Peugeot shares the same engine and parts, that inlet is used on their engine...but as far as N14 goes, this is a blank connection.

+1 We just talked about it here, it the extra port that I believe Peugeot and citron use. On MINI its sealed dummy port.

Always thought it would be cool if someone could tap into it for a Vaccum access add-on mod. Most people see it and are like, I am missing something. Just like the little breather hose coming out of the automatic transmission.

I just replaced the vent hose and lost over an hour trying to figure out what connected to that port. Glad to know that my hunch was right and that it wasn't used. LOL.
