and also, people say a vacuum hose is supposed to be connected to it, there is no port hole/connecter place for a vacuum hose to go.

Re: Can someone tell me what this is?
That one is what is called a "digital" EGR valve. It has 3 pintles of different sizes that control the amount of exhaust gasses that are passed through. There is no vacuum signal to this type if EGR valve.

You can buy the hard plastic vacuum lines at most part places. Auto Zone carries them by the pcv area. The rubber lines are behind the parts conter.
