Hello :)

i just installed a Front Mount Intercooler and theres this line coming from the turbo (pic on the bottom) im not sure what it is, but it used to be plugged in the pipe that runs next to the radiator.

What is it for? and where should i plug it in now since the new pipe does not have a place to plug it in?

Thanks.

You talking about the vacuum line? If you dont hook that up, your wastegate wont open and you will boost to infinity (well not infinity, either you'll blow the turbo or youll blow the engine since itll run lean as fuck). Run the line to a vacuum. You got 2 options. Tap a nipple on the hot pipe and connect that line to it, or you can connect it off a T to one of the 2 nipple on the throttle body.

correct me if I'm wrong but I thought the wastegate has to see boost, not vac.

Your vacuum line sees positive pressure when your in boost...
