Where does this go? Werid airline

Hey everyone,

I just had a question about this airline hose. I attached some pictures to help understand what I am talking about. It appears to have been cut or something, it just doesn't look right there. There is an immense amount of air coming out of it at a somewhat high pressure. I'm thinking it has something to do with the IC but I am not sure, I couldn't find anything about it in the Bentley Manual.

Thanks in advance!

Looks like a boost gauge line. Plug it and keep the boost in the intake where it belongs.

Do you have a boost gauge?

Dont have a boost gauge and didnt notice this until recently, the car has been to the dealer multiple times and nothing has been said. I did plug it but I havent seen a difference....

To be honest i still dont know what this is.

He's right it looks like your car at on time had a boost gauge and they removed it but didn't bother taking all the vacuum lines out. Just plug it.
