That's me with the tech article... as for its use, I don't think anyone is 100% sure, but I found as much as I could about it and put it in my own words.  And yeah, it only weighs about 2 pounds for the whole system.  But you get rid of three vacuum lines that are potential leakers:

> AFAIK, the charcoal canister is meant for the cabin air. It's supposed to filter out some of the nasty crap outside before the air goes inside. Someone, I forget who, had a tech article on how to get rid of it, although it doesn't weigh much (about 1lb if I remember correctly).
