That doesnt look right. The hose looks like it is coming from the fuel pressure regulator :?

Mine has a similar valve to that in a similar location, some ludes have it and some don't, which is confusing, though it's never shown on the vac diagrams. I'm pretty sure it ties into the EGR valve, I'll check for a pic in a while.

Oops, not to the EGR valve, but to the inlet manifold from the FPR, instead of the FPR going straight to the IM. So yours looks correct.

But what is it? I didn't have that on mine. And why has someone added a breather filter to his? :?

I got my hose location wrong, but google EVAP purge solenoid and you get back pics like this:

I dont have one in that location on my JDM 4th or UK 5th. But I have seen one on Indigolemon's JDM swap and Vanzeps BB4.

On the lude, the EVAP purge control valve sits on the firewall, so not sure what the point of this is.
