Can someone tell me what this is for

Hello,

Got my Apexi EL gauge today.. went having a look to say how easy it was to fit... now the commander link was already fitted in Japan but when following the wires round, I noticed that there was an extra hose below the boost point (robber cap right?)

Can someone tell me what this nipple (excuse the terminology) is for? - the one with the black hose. Seems to be connected to the EL commander?

Much thanks in advance

Andy

It's probably for the BOV.

the capped off nipple is the one that you are supposed to use for the gauge, the other goes to the bov

The one with the black cap hose is for your boost gauge when you get one.

The other vac hoses runs to your Blow off Valve.

Hey, just to let you know. The one with the cap can be used for a boost gauge when you get one. And the other one with the hose runs to the BOV.

Man you got lucky. Glad it worked out in the end.
