Hello to my MR2 brethren, I thought I`d ask this question to you guys as well as the Celica lot as we share a common engine and alot of you guys seem very clued up when it comes to questions like this.
I`m in the process of producing my own induction kit and cold air box set up for my Celica ST205. A couple of questions, well one realy.
Obviously I`m getting rid of the standard airbox and dumpvalve. Fitting the dumpvalve isnt a problem, but there is a pipe that connects to the top of the airbox Marked as "D" on picture 2 this comes from position "A" on picture 1 I think that this the pipe that leads to the wastegate VSV valve that I have seen marked on some repair manual drawings???? Is it possible to connect this to position "C" without causing ant damage as the pipe that leads here normally, is just the breather pipe for the engine "B" which I can just divert and top off with a small filter.
If I`m incorrect with my assumption what is pipe "A" and what can I connect it to?
or basicaly - can I connect point "A" to point "C" and not break my car?
Hope this makes sence, any help will be as always much apreciated.
Cheers folks

The hose that goes from A to D goes to your IDLE CONTROL VALVE. That is where the engine gets air at idle.
It goes directly from the air filter to right under the throttle body ... that is how air gets around the closed throttle plate.
You want that line to be straight from behind the air filter to the TB.
