Exclamation Help Needed: MK 5 fiesta zetec s throttle body vacuum pipes

hi guys im new to the forum and ive found myself in a bit of trouble and was hoping that i might find some help here, so here goes my first post

im building (well nearly completed) a puma 1.7 zetec engine conversion into the fiesta, im using the fiesta zetec s throttle body but cant recall where the two pipes on the throttle body go to. I have one going to the FPR, but no idea about the other one! i have so many pipes lying about in my garage and i just dont know which is the right one or where it leads to! I have been searching on the internet for hours on end trying to find pictures of the throttle body connections or any information that will tell me but i have had no luck at all

if any of you guys have any information regarding this it would be greatly appreciated

cheers

Don't know about your individual set up, but maybe the tb you now use uses a different amount of connections from the tb ?

Measure the vacuum at idle, and see what it is, soon tell you if it has a leak, don't forget the pcv valve can stick open, just clamp pipe with pliers to see if it has, should be shut at idle, but if open will cause havoc.
