   Hi Folks... A mate of mine just got his hands on a VTR turbo....
   
   It has a pipe coming off this sensor:
   
   
   Going to the dump valve connector on intercooler pipe...
   
   My question is, where should it go?
   What sensor is circled in the red?
   
   It doesnt look like a stock VTR inlet manifold either???
   
   Any info would be fantastic folks!

   Mk1 inlet
   
   So circled will be the ICV.
   
   The pipe is just a vacuum, where does the clear pipe lead to?

   It should have a filtered air feed, so from the air box or at least a pipe fitted with some form of filtration

    It used to be plumbed into the air filter
    
    Now it just needs an oil breather filter over it
