The silicone line is probably supposed to be connected to the steel tube. The steel tube will pop out on the other side of the timing cover and is probably connected to the charcoal canister, as Meap said.

But, given that the plugged line is silicone, therefore not stock, it would be impossible for anyone to be categorical about what it is. You will need to follow it to the other end, and then compare it with the vacuum hose diagram from the workshop manual.

Hey many thanks for the comments the one with the blue silicon and the Cap head bolt in it i believe from some searching to be another Vacuum point for the Fuel pressure reg ( standard) i have aftermarket with different routing .. it would be the First pic pipe to no where i am confused about now :)

That port with the bolt stuck in it is the port that the charcoal canister uses as a vacuum signal. I don't believe it is used to purge as there's another hose that is common to all cylinders rather than just the first two. As others have said it goes to that metal pipe which looks like someone has put it the wrong way. You can see the intended routing in this picture from when I tore the intake manifold apart:

Personally I do not understand why people delete charcoal canisters on these cars when it is purely to one's benefit to not have raw gasoline venting into the engine bay and into the garage. Higher octane components evaporate first and leaving the gas tank open to atmosphere invites corrosion and moisture especially in the US where almost all gasoline has 10% ethanol in it.

Hey Cheers for the responses yeah looks like the pipe is pointing to the side rather than up .. but the Pipe on the First throttle body is being used for the Sard FPR .. guess will just will put a pipe over this one .. 

The front of the balance tube is the correct port to use for the fuel pressure regulator. It should only go to the FPR and nothing else.

BTW, not sure if you were already aware, but an incorrectly installed vacuum tube almost certainly means your engine has been out and probably rebuilt at some stage (potentially head only). You can't get at that pipe without moving the front timing cover, timing gears and rear timing cover too which you would never bother doing for something like a timing belt change.

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
