That's the oil injector which sends a small amount of oil to lube the apex seals. One on each rotor housing with a vacuum hose attached to it.

Those lines that attached to the oil injector do not go to any solenoids. The lines go back to the brass pipe. Leave them where they were and you will be fine. If you took out the brass pipe (rats nest). Take two filters from the solenoid valves. Some of the solenoid valves have those black filters on them. Take those off and plug them onto the oil injector directly.

Ok I looked at the the rack and traced the brass pipe....Both oil injectors go the brass piping with goes to a 6mm vac line going to the Charge pipe(right after the turbo and before the IC).
So this means that the Vac lines to the oil injectors must be sensitive to boost.

Are you going single and pulling out the entire rack? I think you are ....

If so you need to T these two lines together and route to the intake side of your turbo. These lines need a slight vacuum to open the oil injectors ... if you are running the OMP, else you can leave them open.
