And I don't know if the OP is running a 2.1 or 1.9 but on the 1.2 the big
hose from purge valve goes downstream of the AFM into the "T" at intake
manifold. This is the hose I was referring to.

Like this:

It seems that Digijet also has that same hose going to the intake manifold.

Sorry for not being clearer about what I meant!
