Split Air Block-off (Where?!)
So I got a set of block offs from kr2d. Installing the ACV went pretty easy. Have some plumbing to do with it later though. I"ve got some downtime with the car because the shipping company apparently 'misplaced' the crate. Anyways, So.. I haven't run a cat since back when I first bought the car 3 years ago. I just crimped shut the split air line that went to the cat. The kr2d set came with a split air block off and i was planning on installing it.
But...
1) The invoice from kr2d actually says 86-88, I'm kinda worried I got S4 block offs, but it did say 13B. Furthermore the ACV was correct, so I thought it may be a misprint on the invoice.
2) Where does the split air block off go? I assumed it was either on the block or the LIM, but I can't find a port anywhere that matches the shape. Even where the cat air tube did go, I don't see where the block off would go.

page 43, #5 is the split air pipe. It's kind of a crappy picture, but it gives you an idea of where it goes.

a 1990 GTU right?
I'm pretty sure we are talking about the same thing , when you say split air tube, you are referring to the air supply tube that goes from the LIM to the Cat, right?
If so the connection on the LIM is a tube, not a port flange like...say the exhaust port, but rather like the connection on the top of the radiator. The original hose fit over it and was clamped in place.
Sounds like the block-off plate you have is for a turbo.

conflicting information.
1) says split air block off goes to the ACV
2) says its not a port flange.
So even though either way, I'm in the clear with the situation, I will, for the hell of it check the ACV.

Since nobody's looked at the ACV schematic in the FSM, I'll clarify.
The split air pipe bolts to the manifold, but its passage within the manifold goes straight to the ACV. It doesn't go into the manifold runners or anywhere else, so there's no need to block it off.

ahh tricky... so if you we'rent to block off the acv, you would have to block off the split air
I think they ran it through the intake just to confuse matters

Ok, well for what its worth, I don't see any port on the ACV that would match up to the small block off plate. No worries I guess.

At about 1500-2500 rpm air is pushed to the cat to help burn off any unburnt exhaust gases.
