Why would this be blocked off?
Hi guys, i have connected all pipes from the boost solenoid up apart from the bottom one that goes to the air intake resonator box, when i went to connect this up i realised that it has been plugged up with a screw...... Why would the previous owner have done this? And what should i do with the pipe from the bottom of the solenoid? Thanks

As i told you in your last thread. The bottom hose goes to the stump on the air box resonator. If the stump has been stapped of, which often occures, then the hole needs to be sealed as it will be taking in unfiltered and unmetered air. The bottom hose can then be left to VTA.
There is no good reason to block the hose that i can think of.
Remove the screw from the end of the hose though, which ever way you go.
edit: There should be a small brass restrictor in that bottom hose, close to one of the ends, if that is missing, then it may cause you boost issues.

Either return the BCS bleed off line to the inlet pipe after the AFM, or if there's nothing to connect it up to, just let it vent into the engine bay
. Only makes .7 in high or low boost 
Mine just vents
