just reinstalled intake, new problem

Like it says, I pulled the intake finally to fix that rear leak. I hope it doesnt leak anymore cause I had a hell of a day doing that. Everything that couldve went wrong did. I did an EWP too and that didnt help my case. Anyways, got it all back together BUT
1. The vented opti has 2 hoses coming off of it in the same loom. 1 goes to the intake...what about the other. I cant find a vac port anywhere that it would go to. I looked at shoeboxes site but it wasnt clear where it went.

Thanks guys!

The 2nd hose goes to the top of your bellows. Should be a blue plastic elbow coming off either the bellows or the vacuum tube.
That way it draws filtered air into the opti.

Its the other hose. The one you mention is installed in my ram air box.

Then you answered your own question. There are only two hoses. One goes into your bellows/box and the other goes to a vacuum port on the drivers side of the intake.

ok, I guess Ill have to find where it goes on the intake then. I looked all over and couldnt find a vac port for it. Gues I have to keep looking. Oh, I also have a coolant leak coming from the top large hose where it meets the waterpump. Hopefully its just not seated all the way or something. Thanks

The second hose (with the small plastic check valve on it) goes to a vacuum port on the manifold on the driver side.. It's kind of hidden under the mess of other injector wires and vacuum lines.. See this pic on shoebox's website:

Click on "N1" in the diagram below:
