But yea I was just so frustrated earlier but this def helps thanx I'll let you know how I make out

- Mon Dec 21, 2009 10:30 pm #163234 Run a new hose from that outlet to the nipple that's roughly in the same place on the passenger side. If you follow the line from your IACV it goes there. You can bypass the throttle body and IACV coolant lines and pick up almost as much hp as you get from a CAI.

Just make sure you put a solid gasket between your FITV and throttle body or else you'll have a major vacuum leak. The IACV lines can be left open. In fact you can just remove them via two screws.

- Fri Jan 08, 2010 2:51 pm #166766 Sounds like you are describing the EVAP Purge Control Solenoid Valve.
You need to have it plugged into the harness or you'll get a CEL, but I think it will still run with the vac lines not going to it. It has a line going to the intake manifold and the other goes to the charcoal canister.
