need help with vacuum / boost line connections

Hi All,

 

As the subject says, I've been a bit of a dunce and forgotten which pipes connect up where.

 

To be specific, there are two narrow metal pipes running in parallel on the driver's side of the engine, just below the plenum and behind the bracket that holds the VVC solenoid connector and the boost solenoid connector. It looks to me as though the front of one of these pipes connects just under the throttle body on the driver's side and the other connects to a nipple on the top of the big plastic intake pipe on the driver's side.

 

1. Have I got the connections correct so far?

2. What connects to the other end of the metal tubes?!

 

I've junked a few bits whilst the engine's been out, AIV's, EGR, stock boost solenoids, carbon canister, plenum water bypass, so it is possible I'm looking for connections which no longer exist.

 

Any help with the above would be greatly appreciated, if anyone has a good clear picture of the driver's side of the engine then that may be useful too. This is a bit thick of me, I know, but it has been over 6 months since I pulled the engine, my memory is dreadful.

 

TIA for any help.
