Default new turbo inlet pipe and ports advice

ok so after my previous post regarding this and talking to jura i am going to run a fmic pipe as my new turbo inlet hose as opposed to a samco one, as i dont need all the outlets, as i have fitted a greddy catch tank where the air con used to be and have fitted a breather to the top so with it just being a 2 port i can run the heads to one port and craankcase to the other, anyway!

catch tank is not plumbed in yet as waiting on braded line anyway my question is the vac line that comes from my r-spec 3 port that runs along the side of the header tank and back in to the front of the oe inlet hose, what do i do with that one?

have tried to point it out in the picture as best i can

Just let it vent to atmosphere. Only a tiny amount of air so shouldn't cause any running issues.

if that was the case would there be any point in fitting a 3 port in the first place? as it was duncan that advised on one before the last map

Doesn't matter if it's a 2 or a 3 port boost solenoid they both work kind of the same the 3 port is just more reliable at keeping the boost pressure at a constant.

yeah i know its mainly for smoother boost and the mapper just dont know anyone else that runs a 3 port with a vent to atmosphere so assumed there was something else could or should be done to it.
