Nobody does. This exact thread was posted recently either here or My.IS... can't remember which. Either way nothing goes there. What are you missing? Nothing.

that's nothing to worry about. For the turbo, the person used it for the additional vacuum that the person needed.

that empty line in the timing cover was used for other cars that ran a vacuum line through there.
