should be hooked up after the mass air flow, but before the turbo, so basically on the rubber intake tube

Since mine is not connected anywhere, can i get any problems at all because of this?

If so what are some of the problems?

Thank you for the help on the hose i'm actually going to place it in the tube right now..for some reason the fool that did the install put a metal block in that hole in the tube where this hose should be...Grrrrrr

You could hook it up to the intake pipe or hook it up to a catch can.Intake pipe is better, it sucks out the vapors then burns them.Catch can is nice because you'll notice if there is a lot of blow by compared to other times.

Ok so i put the hose in before the turbo but after the intake...While i was doing that i notice that there were two holes in the rubber tube after the intake and before the turbo..

What i want to know now is if the first one was for that first hose i mentioned then what is the other hole in the tube for?

the two plugged holes are there for the valve cover hose that you installed, and the other is for the recirc bov. your car doesnt have one though. i wouldnt recommend running no bov on the stock turbo unless you like replacing them.
