Skunk2 70mm TB - NO EVAP?

I have a skunk2 70mm TB here waiting to be fitted on my car.
However, fiddling with the TB I discovered that it doesn't have a
fitting for the EVAP canister purge valve.

Here is a picture of the stock (EP3 CTR) TB. Number 1 is the EVAP.


And here is a picture of the Skunk2 TB (sorry couldn't find a smaller picture)..


The skunk2 does only have a spot for the MAP sensor on top of the TB.
Is this a second fail from skunk2 (as the IM which I also have here waiting for my car.. :roll: )
or how can I get this to work on a DC5? can the evap be disabled somehow?

I guess this TB is aimed for swaps, as they don't need the EVAP..

EDIT: just did some more searching.. can someone confirm if the DC5 has got a EVAP
system or not? that pic of the stock TB is from the ep3 ctr manual..

I would email skunk 2 directly or give them a call. and ask the question.
afaik the dc5 has the same fittings as the ep3 (poss same body)

Just did some more research. The JDM / euro TB is the same, so the evap is still there.
Fortunately, I will be running k-pro with obd2 disabled as I have a J's racing 4-2 & 2-1 on it's way.
So the evap would be disabled anyway.
But still.. skunk2 - ](*,)
PS. The "new" BDL 70mm TB has got the evap fitting..

EDIT: I sent a query about this to skunk2, but I guess they will just ignore it.

Got a reply from skunk2..

"you‘re right. Skunk2 throttle bodies do not feature EVAP solenoid provisions. However, you can tap into another vacuum source and simply tie the solenoid itself out of the way somewhere. It‘ll work just the same."

I don't really care about this anymore as I will probably uninstall the whole evap system to save some weight anyway. But I guess it's good to have the information here, as Skunk2 don't mention anything about it on their website..
