1. It's a reservoir.

2. The Amplifier is found on early VW and has one vacuum line IN and I 
believe 4 lines coming out. It usually resides near the battery side of 
the engine bay. Near the throttle cable. They look somewhat like a tuna 
can on it's side, in a bracket, w/ the lines running out of the 'top' 
(now on it's side) surface.

3. The second reservoir is used in the case of it's connection to the 
carbon canister as a part of the smog equipment.
