Default 1995 E36 328i m50 manifold conversion help needed (FIXED)

hi guys
well i am about to undertake this tomorrow, but on my quest i have come across this pipework conversation which looks far better than the ebay crap, what i dont understand is how and what pipe he is using between the round vacum value and where it meets the plug going into the intake man, could any one help, i believe he is using the old hose from the intake boot going to the icv?

cheers

Right
Chasmen and me fitted the m50 today and i can not for the life of me understand why all these guys who have done this make the pipe work run so complicated, when its so easy, the only problem i had was trying to locate the T section in which in the end i used 22mm copper, note if you want to use the 325 throttle body you will need to make a gasket from ali and use both of the rubber gaskets to seal the body, i found this out as mine is leaking bad and i will change it to the m50 one tomorrow, here's a picture of the completed pipe work and i will do a how to do maybe tomorrow as i need to complete and check to few things as i have air leaks
