   Currently sorting out a VTS that previously had ITBs. Seems a previous owner has ditched the carbon canister and blocked the pipe off that connects to the inlet manifold. This likely to have any negative effects on emissions etc?

   Ah sorry - i misintrepreted that - I understood it was still running ITB's but I guess it's now on standard inlet / standard everything else (ecu etc)?
   
   Will still be fine tbh - things like a 4 branch and decat affect it but the canister is just there to stop fuel vapor entering the atmosphere.

   Thought I read somewhere before that it could effect fuel pressure if this canister is disconnected?
   
   Cant remember where I read it but was brought up on another forum i think

   Yeah, you need to vent the fuel tank to atmosphere, or potentially you'll have fuelling issues and go back in time to 1970's fuel vapour lock style starting.

    That was it, not sure how commonly it would occur but was to do with venting the tank to atmosphere so that the fuel pressure didn't increase
