Anyone have more pics or diagrams of where and how this piece hooks up to the intake manifold? I need to check to see if my car does or does not have this piece installed.

It plugs into an elbow off a t-piece beside the valve that controls the resonance flap (top and right side of intake manifold).

The stock routing puts this on the back of the airbox, so it is usually somewhere on the right hand side of the engine bay.

You should be able to follow the vacuum line from near the throttle body - mine is zip tied to the passenger side fuel rail.

Alright, so I found the canister on my car! It is hooked up to the T-fitting near the throttle body, however the other side is hooked up to nothing. Is that appropriate? What should the other side be hooked up to?

Additionally, the canister is not mounted to anything! It's just thrown back behind the manifold, resting against the PS pump!

Please advise what I need to do to hook this thing up properly.

I'll also make sure to attach it somewhere more permanent than just bouncing around the engine compartment.

Here is a pic of the piece the line hooks to (the line from the reservoir cannister is coming in from the right)

The cannister only has one connection - the other two nubbins (on the right side of my photo) are for bolting it in place.

The t-fitting should be connected to the small elbow of the cannister via the thin pipe shown in my photo.

If you remove the stock air box cover (that holds the air filter in), and the other half of the square airbox too (loosen the clamps from the MAF and slide out), the cannister is supposed to be attached to the small square bracket on the back of the second half of the airbox.

Since my car doesn't have the OEM airbox, I ziptied the canister to the bottom of the intake elbow on my EvoMS cone intake system.
