im on my last two things on the list to finish the swap i just did and these two things are holding me back... the two valve stems that come out of the valve cover i need to figure out... one i know can just be a drain hose for lack of a better term... and the other i have no clue about... i want to know were it goes or if i can just block it off...

the MAF problem is the large hose that comes off of it down to the turbo... well that hose has two holes in it... i was tolled they can be blocked off but i want real info... and i need to figure out how to wire up the stock boost controler... thanks n advance
 
As far as the two hoses, the one off the valve cover (CRANKCASE VENT) needs to be connected to the intake hose or routed to a canister/catch can. Some say its alright if you let it dangle and drain but it gets your engine all messy if your engine isn't in tip top shape, it can be a hazard. The second bigger hose goes to your evap canister and should be hooked back up. Some vent it back under the car but can be dangerous. This is alot of articles on here about the evap system, I suggest you read on them before making a choice.

The maf hose or intake hose; if it has two holes in it, I would replace it, they are rather cheap.
