No idea where it goes to, it's at the fresh air hose.. the BCS vacuum line is plugged in but there's two inlets.

On my '97 855, that line connects to the fuel pressure regulator. I wrote up a short guide to replacing the crumbling elbows with silicone tubing here:

Fuel pressure regulator vacuum line replacement

I made this repair a couple of years ago and it is holding up well so far.
Good luck and let me know if I can help out in any way.

No, fuel pressure regulator requires a vacuum source AT the intake manifold. Change it back asap!

That inlet at the piping is part of the TCV control

It does infact go to the fpr. Your diagram even shows it, brother. Jreed saved me on that one. Spent an hour trying to figure it out the day I bought my first volvo.
