turbo J pipe

has a opon port on top where does it go and can I block it off. Looks like a hose hooks on.

do away with it or what?

I tore my car 3 years ago and don't remember what it does.

can i block it off

and if i do, will it help or hurt, sorry but the pics, i cannot see where it goes. I cleaned up the manifold and don't have that stuff on the intake topside.
I still have it, do I need to reinstall this?
I took it off to clean up the intake manifold, fubar said I didn' need this stufff. I still have everything I took off cataloged.

thankx

Are you running the stock EFI?

The thing on the left of that picture that connects to the TB is the Idle Air Control, which if you don't have will really suck on cold starts in the winter months.

thanks NismoPick

that picture is worth a thousand words.

a clear picture that shows most of what I need to know.

Are there any benifits for leaving the j pipe pluged?
Looking a a spare turbo intake manifold I see it goes to:
1. ACC valve.
2. valve on the intake called the F.I.C.D can't find out what that does...
3. Vac corntrol valve? whats that do? It' goes to #4 runner before injector.
4. Air Regulater
5. Heater housing.

what are the negative benifits of leaving the pipe pluged?

running jwt package.

thanks kenny.

There is no real benefit (other than looks) to remove it.
