That's the Purge Control Valve for the charcoal canister. You need to have it connected electrically else the ECU throws a paddy.
Physically, one of the tubes goes to the throttle body, the other to the small metal tube on the fuel lines. This metal line is then connected to the charcoal can.

That explains why I couldn't find mine too! I guess the pipe is open to the tank vent as the pipework was there...

Oh I have everything too... Pipe work, charcoal cannister... alll except the PCV.
I've even got the cable in the wiring loom. When it reaches the large multipin connector in the engine bay the other side is a plastic bung so it stops there.
Ive been researching this for a while and my conclusion (sourced from Scoobynet) is that there isn't one on the JDM engines which I think is strange. Seems weird that it's not required for the Japanese Market.... Unless it's this whole gentlemens agreement they seem to have over there
