It leads to the inside of the LH fender (dogleg), it needs clean dry air since it's the atmosphere vent and sucks in a little every time you brake. If your inner fender is all rotten it may be sucking up water and dirt and that will shorten the boosters life.

Gotta Love you guys on Samba! I'm restoring a 73 tin top from bare metal, and trying to navigate all these parts I tore off, and even with Pics, you always seem to miss something!

THANK YOU!
