Don't zoom in so close. Without seeing anything around it it could be anywhere.

S5's don't have EGR.

Strictly from the location of it, I would say FPR. Does your car have an aftermarket FPR?

It looks like a red tube thats attached to the engine and has a screw at the end of it?? And its really short. Do you have your ACV still attached? If so id say its just capping one of the vac lines and i wouldent worry about it. I have like 5 lines caped in that same area where the ACV was removed. Try to find out if any systems were removed like the acv for example

its weird...if its just capped with a screw from the factory...its a screw, no real cap or fastners...the red with the T is going to the BOV from the ACV and it T's to my gauge

yea it runs from the vac lines to a little red hose, maybe 3/4" long, and its capped with a screw

and yea as j9fd3s said before...my acv is there....its pretty visible i think

Instead of showing us pictures of the last inch of a hose, why not trace it and see where it goes?
