I mounted the CIS-E box where the Mk.1 ignition module goes.
I mounted the Knock box right next to it, on the wiper 
cowl/firewall.
And I mounted the ignition module where the knock box is on a 16V 
Scirocco.

The large tube normally goes to a vaccuum switch by the throttle 
body bellows, and the vaccuum switch purges the charcoal canister.
