So, I replaced the cylinder head on my mini r52 (Not supercharged). The Bentley manual had me remove the throttle body, which I did. Unfortunately for me, this is the one time I did not take a picture before/after removing the part, and now I'm putting it back together. There's tons of videos (like Mod mini, etc), but everyone always has the supercharger, and the setup is different.
I believe the throttle body is oriented like this - is this correct?



And this vent hose (?) - I see one picture, and it appears to be routed under the intake? But I can't seem to figure that out. It seems more likely that it is routed under the fuel rail?
Is that correct? (fuel rail is not reinstalled yet in the picture)



If anyone could take a quick picture or explain how that is routed on a non-sc Gen 1 mini, I would really appreciate it.

 

Also note: I don't see why the throttle body had to come out at all to replace the cylinder head. It seems like a wasted step.

 

Well, it appears it goes along the top of the fuel rail, right next to the fuel line - according to this video:

So, that is solved. I'm going to assume the orientation on the throttle body is correct.
