Ack - where does the little hose from air intake go?

So, I had to take my air intake out to troubleshoot some issues. In the process, the little hose that comes out of the front came disconnected... I have no idea where the other side's home is... Anyone?

Wow I bet it took more effort to write that than actually answer the questions!!!

Krasnog, Problem is that I dont know if its come off the airbox side or the other side but I think you are talking about the one that goes into the VFAD (bit that goes into the front bumper).

Post a pic up if you can...will make it easier.

Thanks for the help... Yup, the one that goes into the front bumper. I'll do some searching for VFAD in the meantime, but I'll post a pic if I can't find it.

Thanks mate!

Very helpful! Thanks. Were the other 12,000+ posts of yours as beneficial?

If I knew the name of the hose, or where it connected, or the name of where it connected, I wouldn't have been asking.

lol, no only half of them were!

The VFAD is the bit that comes into the front of the air box. Its switches the intake runner from a short length (straight ahead) to a long length (turns and runs along the front of the bumper). It uses vacuum to push/pull a flap
