Hose is venting. Should be filtered?
There is a thick hose in the bay that is sucking air in. I don't know what it's used for but I know it shouldn't be venting. Should I get those tiny air filters and fit it on??

Technically it does not NEED to have a filter.
The air is passed to a seperate chamber which surrounds the lower intake manifold, and then based on the relief1, relief2, etc. solenoid valves is passed to the catalytic converter.
You're in AUS, I'd just pull it out entirely.

it is hooked up to the airpump already but it should hook up to the intake you have. If you are running a midpipe just get rid of that thing anyways. If you are running the stock midpipe then you better keep it, lol.

yes, there will be an issue because air is also being pumped into the LIM via the ACV (Air Control Valve)...Secondary Air injection...when it's not being pumped thru the cat (or on heavy loads when the AP disengages), you will run a little richer without it, if you are using the stock ECU. How bad of an issue, I don't know. I hear your car will stink real bad on cold starts too.

Did it stink? Yep. I like the smell of racing fuel though so it didn't bother me.

I removed that hose. And about idle problems, I've got one but started before I pulled that hose off!
You rekon it could be my airpump that's making my idle play around? It idles around 750-1500rpm but doesn't bounce just stays in that range. Until I turn the car off with the turbo timer running (keys out) that idle will drop down to about 750rpm...
