ok so I am trying to run a Skunk2 Pro Series IM and TB all looks good except this. (Not my Pic) http://www.ohpoc.org/forums/Uploads/Images/1de59dd0-969d-4961-8b58-a742.JPG
Notice the stock TB has a nipple for a hose that is comming from the Charcole Can. The Skunk2 TB does not have this. There are no extra nipples on the IM. I trully canot figure it out, if I T it to another line which one or if I plug it then what are the side effects?
I have looked at a ton of diagrams and helms guides and I cant find a firm answer. Does anyone know anything about this? As always any and all help is greatly appreciated!! Here is the combo I am trying to set up http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/SKUNK2-INTAKE-MANIFOLD-THROTTLE-BODY-CIVIC-SI-B16_W0QQitemZ8053915005QQcategoryZ36474QQssPageNam eZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

kinda looks like you can transfer over the nipple to the Skunk 2. Looks like a hole on the top middle, about the place the stock one is.

That's a idle adjust/set screw thingie like the stock T.B. has to the left of the nipple. Hahaha I said nipple! You can just use one of the extras on the manifold.

how sure are you on this?
first of all only obd0 and obd1 throttle bodies have that nipple, obd2 does not have the nipple. does skunk2 list different part numbers for TB's of different years (obd's)?
on the stock TB the passage from that nipple goes to right before the throttle blade. meaning it does not see vacuum. if you plug the hose from the charcoal canister into a nipple on the intake manifold it will see vacuum. i dont know if that will cause a problem or not.
for what its worth i just left the hose off on mine and so far have no problems.
if you still have concerns try calling skunk2 and see what they recomend, im sure it comes with instructions on exactly what you need to do.

None of the new S2 (http://www.skunk2.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc) T.B.'s have one. I guess you could machine it in. As far as the charcoal canister goes, mine sees vacuum all the time so I think it would be safe to use an extra manifold connection.
