What's this connection that's hissing?

I noticed hissing coming from this hose type connection but cannot see any loose hose... I've cut a piece of hose and plugged it off... Anyone know what it is and why it was unplugged and where me plugging is the right move?
 
Sorry its near the intake

    I think capping it was a good idea. Kinda hard to tell exactly where it is from the pic.
    Is your car a turbo? If it is the previous owner may have added a boost gauge via that tee piece. 
     
    Describe what the two ends on the tee piece hoses connect to if you can. Or take another pic.

    Ah I think you're right... it's located just under and near the intake manifold... I have a boost gauge but it's not working... lights are on but not working... I saw the hose for the boost gausge unplugged in the engine bay... it must be for that
