Help - Installing a cast aluminum lower airbox



I would like to install this aluminum lower air box that I got from a Volvo on my 16V Scirocco.  Volvo's used the same type of CIS-E (they refer to it as K-Jetronic).  The one problem I have is what to do with the hose comming off the pressure regulator into the air box.  On the opposite side is a very small hole inside the air box.   It seems that 8V's don't use it but the 16V's do and Volvo's don't seem to have it either.  I can't image it is vaccum as the whole lower part of my air box doesn't exist anymore.  It has been removed and only enough remains to hold the filter in place.

I have included some links to pictures (I hope I did this right).

Here is the hose that I am talking about:

Here is the other side with the small hole:

Here is the aluminum lower air box:

Here is the two of them together.  The aluminum part actually replaces the black plactic part still connected to the upper airbox.
