well if your talking about the short plastic hose and round plastic solenoid with the plug in it, thats the EVAP, it pulls the gas fumes out of the gas tank and feeds them into the intake. You dont have to keep it

So you don't bleed off boost and pressurize your fuel tank, thats the idea anyway.

I kept the EVAP solenoid on my TT cts-v build, but haven't put in a check valve yet. I blew through the hose and it seemed to be closed.
