The short length of hose coming from the throttle body should be plugged, you then need to connect another length from the 't' to the top port on the airbox. The car is a Digifant 8v (pb) right?

Yes, it is digifant and thanks for the info too..

Just to make sure...

The top part of the "T" goes to the airbox? - I have an induction kit, so would this connect to the air meter?

Also, on the throttle body part (where there are two pipes) the one on the left needs pluggin, and the one on the right is in the correct position, is that right?

Many thanks mate!!!

The two you have on the throttle body are correct, you just need to plug the left one.

The top part of the 't' goes to the airbox. If you have an induction kit then I'm not sure this will apply to you as the vac connection is designed to open close a flap in the factory airbox. How was it connected to your induction kit before you renewed the hose?

If you have an induction kit, plug the 't' part or you'll have an air leak :)
