Default Lateral performance intake pipe

Hi, If all goes well in the next month or so i will be fitting a MD321T with a lateral performance intake pipe to my car alongside other mods.

The lateral performance intake pipe does not have any take offs which is ok as i'm fitting a catch can and am running a bov.

The bit i am slightly confused about is what to do with the two hoses that have nowhere to go. Hoses are shown below:



Car is a newage sti. As the hoses are vacuum hoses, i thought i'd let you know that i am going to have a 3 port bcs fitted.

If anyone could shed some light on this matter, it would be great.

Sorry spanner monkey for using your picture, it's the best one i could find.

Thanks

the top one is for the carbon canister i think (removes petrol smell from cabin) and the bottom one goes to the boost sellunoid. if your fitting a 3 port top pipe to compressor housing, middle to actuator and the bottom one is suppost to go back in the intake but can be left disconnected. just put a 2" long silicone tail on with a 2mm restrictor pill in it. the boost sellunoid will need setting up by a map to make it work correctly.

Thanks dbay, i could probably wire the 3 port bcs up, but i think i'll get my mapper to put it on for me just before he maps it to be safe.

Do you know what i should do with the carbon canister hose?
Shall i trace it back to where it goes and remove it all together?

no I very much doubt you will notice.

if it is an issue you can drill the new air filter and extend the vent pipe to reach it etc
