If the left part is the charcoal canister, then that should plug into, or rather fit over a nipple on, the bottom of your throttle body.

no, the right part attaches to the throttle body, the left part has one of those plastic tubes on it, and runs up to the front of the passenger vavle cover, to the big plastic thing where the heater hose, and the coolant hose off the TPI meet.

Maybe someone can jump in here and hlep me too? I know that on the tpi car's, there are two lines comming from the back of the engine compartment. One goes to the heater control valve on the passengers side. The other plastic tube, a short one, I'm not exaclty sure where it belongs? I spliced into my vacume lines for all of the accessories for my supercharger. Sorrry, i cant be of more help?

I'd venture that one side of the T runs to the cruise control, the other to the heater control valve in the dash. Besides the MAP, FPR and power brakes those are the only vac lines that come off the back of my 92s plenum...

I just pulled mine apart. One side goes to the vacuum canister in front of the driver's side front wheel, the other goes to the AC control in the dash.

the top of the "T" goes to the under side of the throttlebody. One of the other ends goes to the evap cannister, the other end snakes under the plenum and back to the EGR solinoid (fwd port on my car).

It is called a "T" fitting and you can buy replacement hard vacuum line at any parts store.
