Nobody? I thought this would be easy...

Looks like an oil line. I don't have a PET handy, but that hose might be in the PET diagram for a turbo engine.

It looks like it may be the fuel supply line that runs from the fuel filter (flex hose end) over to the fuel distributor. If it is, then the bracket bolts to the back side (front side??) of the heater fan mount. Those lines are very hard to see if the engine is in the car since it is on the other side of the air box and intake runners.

Maybe a better picture would help...
...looks like a new part. Did you order a part and got the wrong one? |

Yes, it was supposed to be the line from the thermostat to the oil tank. It's companion is at the top of the photo.
My wife took the photo since I'm still at work. I'll have a better read on it when I get home.

It's the oil supply line for a turbo. Mine is not a turbo so I have the wrong part. I didn't know what wrong part I had until I did some research.

Jim is right. I just yanked mine off during the air box replacement. It connects at the back of the distributor and runs to the heater fan bracket, then the connection at the left side. I'll trade you mine for that nice new one!
