NB vacuum lines

Hi,

I've got a 2003 nb mx5. I've been changing the cambelt recently and have noticed one of the vacuum lines below the throttle body doesn't go anywhere. I was wondering if anyone with a similar model can let me know where the circled line goes?

Cheers

the vacuum line looks like it has broken, it is a simple return to the vacuum port closer to the TB

Image link is broken. Ive had a look around the throttle body, cant find any lines that are disconnected. Ive also read that it should go to the boost sensor on the drivers guard, some people are saying it should, some that it shouldn't.

My 2001 manifold doesn't have that port/line.

Correct for the '03 NB, that's where it goes on my SE.

Note: the standard NB8c has a boost sensor even though it's unboosted. :wink:
