third hose on stock 2g intake?

[starr]

okay on the stock intake there are two hoses on the top/firewall side of the intake, i know what they are, the one to the valve cover to vent the oil, and the 2nd one is the charcoal can, but there is a third tiny one on the other side of the intake that goes down kind of near the passengar headlight area. what is this for? i ask because i am getting blow thru, and i'm putting my filter directly on the turbo, so i am putting a filter on the valve cover one, and i'm getting rid of the charcoal can completely. but i dont know what this third is for. thanks.

No, because the BCS controls your boost. Since you don't have a boost controller you will have to continue to use your bcs until you get one.

okay. i'm confused then. how in the world would a hose into the intake measure boost? i admit i'm new to all of this, but there is no boost on that side of the turbo.(intake) so how can that controll boost. thanks.

It's the BCS exhaust. It's hooked on there so you don't suck in dirt when the turbo's not boosting.
