Default Intake Sensor?

Ok, on my stock Intake, there is a vacuum line (I think, it has a hose coming off of it running to the vacuum canister, again, not sure on this) that screws to the top of the intake after the throttle body and map sensor. My new intake doesnt have this mount. I'm confused where to put this and if I need it installed with the turbo setup.

thanks

For some help, it's an older Skunk2 intake. Here's a pic of it and I circled were that sensor was on the stock intake.

That is called the EVAP purge solenoid. You can unplug the harness from it and not bother hooking it up. It is only required for emissions and will have no affect on how the car runs.

Ok thanks! Should I plug the hose that's hooked up to it?

You can just remove all the lines, the solenoid and the charcoal canister. If you are converting to OBD1, you won't need those lines hooked up at all.

I can remove the whole canister that's mounted to the firewall? That's cool, it'll give me more room to move my windsheild washer fluid tank to.
