    Hi

    I look my carbs and i see that (in red)

    I think it's vaccum but where i do connect that ?

    I know i need to put a vaccum hose between the boost sensor and the plenum (down of the plenum)

    Another one between the fuel pressure regulator and the plenum (UP of the plenum)

    But i don't know what is this hose

    the nipple on carb 2 is the green line. This should go directly to the boost sensor.
    Below is how I had mine set up with a boost controller.
    I've since eliminated the boost gauge and the boost controller so there is a direct line from the carbs to the boost sensor.

    correct, but it has a valve which needs to be rebuilt.
    It will drain any oil/fuel residue at atmospheric pressure but seals up when under boost.
    XJ4ever sells the foam filter and gaskets for this.
    I guarantee your filter will be disintegrated.
