So how does this system work? Review these first two graphics from the factory repair manual to find out.
(PS I wonder why the forced induction guys dont't use the air from the fan housing to spin their turbos? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)) Attached image(s)

i just removed the canister from my 911sc since the hoses were shot and the removable end just about removed itself. probrobly empty by now im going to open it up and see. But im thinking is the canister there just for when the car is turned off and the fumes have a place to collect? because when its running it suckes the fumes in anyway and it doesnt get to the atmosphere. So by that theory i can bypass the canister and still plumb the lines to the intake and the fumes will just pool in the intake instead. potentially causing a big backfire when started perhaps. so would i be better off venting it to the atmosphere or leaving it plumbed to the intake. Im not real woried about smelling fumes but id rather not blow my airbox.
