Looking at a picture in the EVTM it looks like it may be a coolent hose to the oil cooler behind the oil filter.

It goes from the valve cover breather (located at the rear of the valve cover) to a metal line under the intercooler (passenger side of engine bay, right above spark plugs). Which runs up to the front of the turbo, where the rubber vam hose connects at.

The breather nipple points towards the firewall. The hose goes on there, then does the 90 degree turn to point towards the front of the car so that it can connect to the metal tube described above.

I could take pictures if that wasn't descriptive enough...... :D
...and there was light!
