Whats this hose for??
Gents,
Could anyone tell me please what this hose attached to the throtle intake tube(from the airbox) is for/what its function?
Its my friend's 40th Anniv. So question #2 is it just on 40th Anniv cars or X51 engined cars?
It wasn't on my ex-996(MY02).
Trying to help him.
Thanks!

Thanks Gents! Car is not a tip. Its a 40th Anniv Edition which has an X51 on it.
I hope its just a return hose for exhaust/combustion(EPA), then it wont be a problem for what he's(my friend) is trying to do.

It goes to the "sucking jet pump" on X51 and Tiptronic cars.
The pressure ratios in the intake system are changed by the optimized induction system on X51 (and Tiptronic ) so this is needed yo keep the ratios balanced.

What he ^ said!!! 
Just for the record, I didn't have a clue what that hose was for (other than it directed air some where) prior to Loren's post.
Nice Loren, as usual. BTW, is it true that your last name really is "All-Things-Porsche" or is that just a rumor?
