  • GTI Boost Hoses question

    Hi guys,

    Went to put a boost gauge in my Mk4 Gti the other day, and figured out that a few of the hoses in the car are not in the right place from the previous owner.

    From the inlet manifold, the hose from it to the fuel pressure reg is still in the correct place, but there is another small vacuum hose pretty much directly below it on the manifold that is supposed to run to the BOV/diverter valve. On my car it is blanked off.
    Instead, the small hose from the air box is running to the BOV - also installed by the previous owner. I have a new diverter valve on the way, and want to get these hoses hooked up correctly before I put it in.

    If I run a new hose from the inlet manifold to the BOV, where do I run the hose from the air box too? I've tried searching for pictures, but because it runs to the bottom of the airbox, I can't see where it runs to as most pics are taken from the top of the engine.

    Any help would be great!

      The Bov on the AGU is fed off the inlet manifold.

        PM replied to. The manifold to BOV hose will be easy enough to fix, so where is the air box hose meant to go to?
