It needs to be plumbed into a filtered air source. It's part of the PCV
system. It's the air inlet for venting the crank case. The PCV valve is
connected to engine vacuum, when the engine is not under load, the vacuum
sucks air from the engine crankcase, removing combustion gases that blew
past the piston rings.
It is important, and it must be connected to the air intake between the air
filter and TB. Otherwise, your sucking in dirty air and contaminating your
oil.
