I need tha location for tha one behind tha front one...

There is not a hose there. It vents to the atmosphere.
Thanx, I found my problem...
I need a crossover pipe...
If you're talking about the 90 degree elbow, it goes to the turbocharger wastegate actuator. The one behind it is open for venting.
