Mystery hose from near firewall 96 850 turbo

Post by KD510 »

Hi folks, while I was clearing out my drivers side drain hose from the cowl off came this mystery hose. I’ve attached a few pics. It’s about 15” in length with the plastic insert being 2”. Inside diameter is 3/4”. Any and all help/tips is appreciated as to where the correct placement of this goes. Also, the car runs but stayed in low boost. Should I not drive it until this is sorted?

Thanks in advance.

I just checked and you’re spot on. Thank you sir. As an aside but dealing with the cowl and fuse box drain hoses. Any tips towards the proper routing of these? The drivers side cowl drain hose has so many turns to it that there seems to be no clear path.
