as the title says really, tested for boost leaks after the idle on my zed has been suffering and seem to have found the culprit. not sure how its come about but before I go capping it can anyone tell me what its connected to just to be safe.

have you had a carbon cannister delete or any parts of the plenum blanked off?

only the PRVR bypass, which in all fairness is the only time i think it could have got disconnected, that was with it now been bypassed, while the vacuum tank is still down there no air should be running through it. somewhere down the line here im assuming ive done something daft...

looks like the vac pipe to the turbo. if thats not connected your turbo wont be working correctly. thats if it is that pipe though

 

not had any issues from the tubs mate, that said I've still no idea what it is

Its one of the wastegate solenoid signal pipes,used by the ecu to reduce boost under safety conditions id say.Thats ther only small vac pipes around that vicinity.

Ah right, apologies mikey too. Just looked at it a little farther and there is a t connector which then was routed to the level solenoid. With that now gone I take it its safe to cap it then?

 

Thanks or all the help and quick responsees to everyone too!

Reconnect it,unless you are running a boost controller it needs to be plumbed in to for the ecu to engage safety boost to protect the engine.

I'm running an HKS EVC boost controller bud
