If my memory serves me the 5/8 hose 1" to the right of the throttle body goes to the cold pipe. The other three go to the unpressurized pipe before the compressor. Someone correct me if i'm wrong.

The line coming from the valve cover is a breather line, you need to run this to a catch-can or put a filter on it.

The large line coming from under the manifold should be the IACV line, all it needs is a METERED source of air. Meaning plumb it anywhere into the plumbing after the MAF.

The smaller hose (3/8" ?) is more than likely your evaporative emissions dump line. It will be going to the charcoal canister. You can just run this open, or back into a negative pressure to manifold line. I would just eliminate the evap system all together.

Possibly, not 100% up to date on the S13 evap system, but trace the lines back to where the originate and that'll give you your answer.

Thanks for the info Nismo_Freak. I would track down the hoses but it won`t quit raining! I uploaded a few more pics of my manifold and downpipe. I have to find some bolts to bolt my turbo to my manifold and get some exhaust gaskets. I going to do this even if it rains this morning!

some people had strange idle's when they dumped the valve cover vent or just put a filter on it. maybe consider putting it on the compressor intake after the MAFS.the IAC line should go to the cold-pipe.i only have 1 line for the evap stuff for some reason, but im putting that on the compressor intake as well, after the MAFS.

a couple pics of your progress would be cool, i just ordered that mani last week. cant wait

If you check the link I added some more pics this morning. I was hoping to get the manifold and turbo installed today but Autozone had to get a gasket from another store and wont be ready until 3:00pm. Oh I will let you know what bolts you will need to bolt your Turbo since none come with the manifold. So far this is what I have received.1 manifold1 downpipe4 IC piping tubes1 Turbo1 ICwaiting on the rest of the stuff, hoping it comes early this week.
