That is where the 2 inch long hose goes from your blow off valve. Mine is disconnected and I capped the hole in the airbox

Oh, and I just noticed that huge single turbo in the pic, you must have an aftermarket blow off valve.

nope, all stock (well excpet for the BOV)... that's an HKS SSQV... my bro bought 2 for his S4 a few months back but doesn't use them anymore (dunno why), so we threw it on the FD... that's the big silver thing in the pic... yeah i prolly shoulda capped that line too....

EDIT: threw in a another pic so no one else would get confused .... the first was a bird's eye view...

Just plug the air box hose nipples so that they don't suck in engine compartment air. I used a plasic coca cola bottle cap (see pic of engine compartment in sig).

jonski - yeah i read the bottlecaps work, but that was after i plugged the first hole (that sounds kinda wierd...)

ryan - no, andy and i just threw it in on sunday... it's one of dano's old bov's... i can't remember if he had them in at the drags last spring but it sounds the same... nice and high-pitched. at the drags i had the poor-man bov mod or whatever it's called, this is much louder though, trust me
