Carbon canister. It removes hydrocarbons from the fuel vapour. The 'cleaned' fumes are then drawn into the engine, governed by the ECU and the blue valve clipped to the strut tower under the MAF.

 

Yes you can either relocate or remove it.

 

If removing, block black hose. Leave clear hose open.

Are there any benefits or disadvantages in removing it? Or is it totally redundant? You see if it doesn't make a difference I may just leave mine connected.
