Where is the cold air inlet, inside or outside the car? Thanks, John

Just fixed a 97 T5 850

The line is a hard white (now yellowish) line that has a rubber connection under the tube that feeds the outside air to the air filter box. I used a piece of hose I had lying around and its working fine again.

After the junction the line sent to the vacuum tree just past the throttle body.
