Thanks.
Would the pipe be removed for any reason?
(in the photo's of an Ibiza i'm looking to buy - there isn't a pipe there) :confused:

it could be connected to a breather filter and hidden away..this is what happens with most induction kits
unlikely it would be removed as its a bitch at fault codes

Haha - that's just a random photo i found on the forum... Not my car :p

So the fact that it's not connected to the black box (just to the right of the green cap in the photo) and can't be seen, isn't necessarily a problem?
Thanks again for the info guys [B)]

Well if your email is the one in your public profile... Then yes. :think:
I'll resend...
The pipe being removed wouldnt be an issue, would ask why its missing though.
If the pump it leads to is missing, then you'd have a error code stored. Ive had the pump d/c'd for over a month without issue.
