Yeah that is the line that comes up and passes thru the throttle body. I simplified the throttle body set up and don't use it anymore.

I don't know how much of a problem it really is, but just something to think about.

if you are still in WI and drive the car in the winter months at all I would consider keeping that hose. It is used to warm the throttle body, in winter conditions to prevent ice from forming thus preventing the butterflies from opening/closing.

I do however remove those hoses on all my cars even my 08 TL and I have never had a problem with the throttle body freezing up in the winter.

Finally got my car in a state to take to the Fabrication shop. DKM Fabrication in Auckland's North Shore.
Bov mounted.
Tried this new position, cant see it when you open up the bonnet. Also don't have the Abs unit tucked in the side there, so there's plenty of room for it.
Other things on the list,
-Wastegate plumb ins for my cert and Warrant only.
-Clutch line
-Skid pan for the sump
-New downpipe fitted to old exhaust
- Also going to get the radiator set up properly and neatly, with the end tanks both at the top.
-Turbo hot side intercooler pipe fitted.
Super stoked how the welded HKS elbow to the turbo turned out. It looks so much cleaner than an extra silicon coupler there! WOW
Cant wait to polish it all up!

If you take the chassis rail as a guide you can see the intercooler is on a solid 45ish degree angle and the radiator is angled perfectly aswell. It's the HKS Vmount kit.. I love it . Cheers

Quick Update..
Fabrication side and Street legal side of things have been finished thanks to DKM Fabrication.
Dual Waste gate plumb ins and Street legal exhaust.
I decided to use the previous 20BPP exhaust that has a huge rear muffler , two small mufflers and a resonator, so it will clear noise levels easily. only downsize is I had to reduce the 3.5 downpipe into a 3 inch exhaust.
After run in I will build a full 4 inch stainless exhaust into one rear muffler with the twin gates venting to atmosphere.
I had to modify the Radiator... The HKS vmount intercooler is by far the best set up in my opinion... aesthetically is it amazing and opens up the engine bay. However the radiator set up in less than desirable.. so I switched it up and made it much cleaner..
Off to get a wire in LINK G4 RX and final tune.
Progress on the drifter slowly moves on, Vmounted and Re amemiya sleek lights.

Anywhere behind the throttle body is fine. Single port BOV's are pulled open by manifold vacuum when the throttle closes.
Dual port BOV's have an additional port for a source prior to the throttle body. This extra port helps to push the BOV open, as the vacuum source is pulling it open.

Here it is ..
Looks amazing, keeps the wires nice and short.
Will have to move it back a bit tho when I side-mount the alternator and go elec water pump.

I was wondering has anyone ever cut off the bolt tabs to the upper intake manifold that attach the throttle body and then welded the throttle body to the manifold?
(Obv double throttle
Body removed )
And then Polished it up for a cleaner look?
