Mine has gone, had someone remove it for me. Doesn't do much apart from keeping the smell of fuel out of the cabin. Well this is what I believe it does.

Sorry can't really help much

The charcoal canister is actually there to store gases from the fuel tank and then lets it into the engine to burn during part throttle cruising.

It has zero effect on performance as fuel vapour is flammable and it only operates intermittently at certain times when crusing (NOT full throttle nor idle, nor aceleration, nor when the engine is cold etc).

The only reasons to remove it is if a) its broke (cracked casing, leaky solonoid etc) or b) its in the way when doing a FMIC/rotated turbo conversion.

Just make sure the inlet from the fuel tank is sealed, and the vacuum to the engine is also sealed (A vacuum leak will cause loss of performance/bad idling/MAF fault codes etc.).
