What exactly is this. It's on the underside of the car buy the coolant resvoir. Seems to have a vacume line attached to it that goes into the wire loom, I think it might be one of the ones that comes out by the computer. What the hell is it?

Yeah, if it's the same line it also runs into a T by the computer . Almost looks like it could be part of the HVAC system. That would be my first guess.

Its a vacuum reservoir so when you have low manifold vacuum conditions, there will be enough stored vacuum to operate the HVAC duct work.

It could be, I don't think the new neighbors like my car all that much. Something about leaving for the track with open headers at 6:45 on a Sunday morning doesn't agree with them.
