rite on the front of the engine theres a rubber tube which is lumpy..like coil or something but is flexible.
it can be removed.it rums to the black box with the air filter inside it.
if i remove that box to put in the induction kit the tube has to go 2.
also wat ya men block off the red wire with a screw?

that pipe is a vacuum pipe that connects to the back of the Inlet manifold, it opens/closes the warm air feed flap. block it off with something, i took mine off and put a screw in the back of IM.

Is that true about the fuel consumption because I have just left mine open. If I cover the hole will it help it?
Thanks

it controls a little flap in yer airbox.... u have a cone now so no need for it....
put a screw in the end of it and tie it up in a safe place so it doesnt get caught in any of the movign parts of your engine....
