The purpose of the tube running from the exhaust manifold to the airbox surely this is just pumping hot air into the engine?!

easyest way to identify the thermostat is lok in your engine bay (obviously lol)
and look at the coolant pipes there should be one thick pipe connected to the cylinder head or top of the engine block, this is where you will find the thermostat.
