HELP with WEIRD BOV wiring

Just bought a '96 GSX and popped my hood and realized the vacuum line that normally goes from the intake mani. to the BOV wasnt connected on the BOV end, but rather connected to a plastic cylinder.
The plastic thing had a cable connected into one end, and two nipples on the other end. One vacuum line went to my vacuum mani. the other went to a "T" fitting that went between the WG actuator and my turbo, i think.
I was wondering if this plastic thing is my BCS and how do i correctly re-wire this? I was pretty sure I needed to re-connect my vac hose so it would run between the intake mani. and my BOV nipple. But that will leave an open port in that plastic thing. Do I just cap off this opening or what?
Any help would be greatly appreciated since my BOV is currently leaking constantly. I took a pic of how its currently connected but couldnt figure out how to attach it, lol.

Re: HELP with WEIRD BOV wiring

the line from your mani should go to you BOV. the other opening should go to an opening on your intake tube [see pic]

Thanks BoostedSpyder. No wonder i had no boost, lol. I actually went down to the Mistu dealership earlier today to buy a fuel filter and asked em about it. After like 1 hour of searching their catalog, we found out how it was supposed to be wired. I couldnt believe how much stuff was hooked up wrong when i re-wired everything. (I wonder how much boost I was actually running....lol)
