What is this? Where does it go?

Is this just a vent for the power steering pump i have circled? If so where do i need to route it or hook to it?
Thanks in advance......

Looks like the return from the rack... aka the low pressures side.

You have 2 low pressure returns on that pump. One from steering, the other from the hydroboost.

I removed the fitting and welded the hole up on my setup. power steering works just fine.

Easiest and safest to get a non hydroboost pump.

So basically i can block this off since all it does is supply a non pressure return path for a hydroboost setup i don't have? Thanks guys for the help
