I can't even figure out where on the engine you are pointing the camera. Could you take a wider pic?

Mmm??

looks a like a vacum size hose! Judging by the jubilee clip size

I think a wider shot of the area is needed....

If it is a vacum pipe, Id say it went on to your throttle body

you dont HAVE to fit a swirl pot but you will prob find you will suffer fuel starvation when you go round corners or hard acceleration with low fuel in the tank.

personally i would do it...or you can just keep your tank full all the time!!

I'm wondering if it's a heating/cooling pipe but I know SFA about the turbos.
It does look very similar to a NA throttle body heating pipe

As Sven said, can you do a wider shot please?

For sure I would bet a burger, it's the control pressure outlet for the wastegate.
You're missing a rubber pipe going back to the inlet on the wastegate!

Here's an example:
