Default Hose connected correctly????

Can anyone tell me if this hose is connected up correctly?

Its on an Escort Cossie big turbo.

The large one at the bottom of the Plenum. It usually goes to the Std breather flame trap under the manifold but my car has a GGR Breather system fitted which dose away with this.
The only hose that i could find lying around after everything else was connected was the one from the Carbon Canister Solenoid.

Is this correct? if not where dose it go?

As always any help appreciated

Dave,

Was it just blanked off at the Plenum and the hose to the solenoid left open or was that blanked off as well?

Pretty sure if its connected to the carbon canister set-up it needs to be connected to the inlet,then all the fumes from your petrol tank get sucked into engine through inlet rather than breathing to atmosphere which is what pre-cat cars do

Pretty sure thats right

I *think* that some chips don't control that valve properly, so it might not matter where it goes (hence why it was left off?)
