A pat on the back goes to whoever can tell me what this thing is?Came off my 1j

It's a VSV (Vacuum Switching Valve).

Supra motors have several. They are used to control the flow of vacuum to various vacuum operated components.

hmm interesting.. When i removed my intake mani. this was bolted to the lower manifold. It was plugged into the wiring harness but there were no vacuum lines connected? Any idea which system this switch worked in conjunction with? Im trying to determine if it's necessary to reinstall or not.

It seems those two hoses go somewhere between the valve cover an intake mani, here is pic hope it helps

Charcoal canister

Ah, the ONLY VSV on the 1JZ.....

Yes, it bolts underneath the intake manifold, and connects between the intake manifold, and charcoal canister. Prevents you from boosting into your gas tank.
