I just re-read that and it makes no sense at all basically if I follow the guide im left with this pipe on the tip which went to a bracket then to a joint on the suction jet which isnt on pats guide il also be left with 1 capped port on the inlet mani and one uncapped because of this extra pipe.

Just plug the tip, I'll need to look at the guide again to get my head around it.

I blanked all but one of the ports under the inlet manifold. I kept one for my DV.

The port in the image of your TIP is blanked off on my car, and I have one simple pipe coming from my crankcase breather (the pipe that looks like this--



to the cam cover breather (in your picture), to my catch can, then to the TIP.
