Still could use some info...

I messaged a while back about some vacuum hoses that are connected to the intake manifold/t-vis part of an ST162, I think it's to do with emissions controls (maybe BVSV) but I still haven't figured out which way they hook up (even after several hours of investigating).
Anyone able to check this out, give me some scanned in photos of near the underside of the throttle body or front-on of the intake manifold would be appreciated! I'll attach some photos of what I'm looking at when I go back up to the shed in about an hour. (plus I have to read the freaking manual for my mini DV camera on how to take still shots).
I really would like to avoid putting the head back together, and then having to go through so much crap to sort out the hoses again later.

Ahh f*** it
I'll just go to Uni and research all these emission control devices and figure out how they technically should go.
I'll stick to brake upgrade and turbo conversion questions from now on (and I suspect the only reason brake up grade questions are answered is because you guys might know that due to legalising some turbo conversions).

AH SORRY!!!!! I didn't reply! I went ahead and took lots of photos for you like I said, but they were hopeless! It was impossible to get proper angles etc while the engine is in. So hard to get the camera in and around. I will stick 'em up if you like, but I don't think you will get much out of it 
So, depresssed as I was by my poor effort, I spend a while looking through my manuals that I have here, and yet, to no avail! They do not describe what you are looking for exactly.
Though, they show what 'nipples'  are for what I think.. I will photocopy some sections if you need?
sorry for the delay man, I completely forgot after my rather unsuccessful outing with the camera.

what are you exactly trying to figure out here?...
are you trying to find which connection of A goes to B and which goes to C?
You have gotten me a little confused.......

Yeah, trying to figure out how the hoses connect
A & B is one end.
C is the other end.

well I had a look, tried my manual and still no f@#king clue, sorry.
As I said once before, in about 2 or 3 weeks were pulling my 3SGE to replace with a 3SGTE, if you still haven't got it figured out by then I can tell you exactly how it goes then.
Sorry but that's the best help I can offer....

Yeah, it looks like I'll just have to go research this stuff at Uni and try to figure out what the hell the damn thing is supposed to do and go from there!

Woot! I finally figured out what the hell the damn thing is and should be able to figure out how the hoses go! It's some kind of vacuum switching vavle for the T-VIS. Now I can go put this f**king car back together
One more ST162 back on the road....

Why not block them up?
Answer : They are part of the T-VIS control mechanism, if I were to block them up either my bottom end would go to crap (no torque due to slow air flow) or my top end would be ballistically *crap* due to lack of air volume.
That's the short version.
