Help! Random Hoses in Engine Bay!

Sh4k3NSTi · 07-02-2009, 11:18 PM

I recently went with a EWG setup on my car. I popped my hood to check some stuff and found this! It was right on top of my stock boost solenoid I think. I found a hole plugged on my intake maybe it went there? or maybe on my old IWG on my turbo? Anyways there is a connector on one of the hoses but it looks to big for the other hose to be pushed onto it. Are these supposed to be disconnected? Please let me know what to do.

My Mods are (If this makes a difference on the hoses):

-Intake
-TBE
-Hallman MBCS
-38mm EWG
-Grimmspeed UP-Pipe
-AMR TMIC

Is one supposed to be on this nipple on the stock WG?

On the Stock BCS its a 2 port... one port goes and T's off to go between the wastegate actuator and the Pressure side of the turbo. and the other port hose goes to that port on the intake!

which in the case of running a Manual boost controller is kinda not used anymore anyway.

I'm personally not a fan of MBC's and would recommend going with like a prodrive 3-port and a Protune!

i have a protune, but it is okay with these hoses apart?

Those hoses are for the factory boost controller. Looks like they were left there incase you ever went back to factory.

I see a manual boost controller in the engine bay. So those hoses are not needed.
