Line going from qg actuator to bov....is this right?

[williamdsm]

Hello. I'm still new to dsms, got my '95 tsi awd back in late march. It's basically all stock except for a small 16g turbo. Looking under the hood I noticed the line running off the actuator goes to my greddy type S bov. The line is T'd and the other line runs to the left side of my intake manifold. Is this how it's supposed to be? Just curious. Thanks for any and all help!

EDIT: Sorry, I meant to put wg (wastegate) in the title.

Oh, you're new? Then post a picture. Chances are you don't know half of what's misplaced/setup wrong.

No you vacuum line should not be coming off you wg to your bov

That is not correct. The wastegate should have a line dedicated to a boost source as well as the bov. Neither should have a t in them anywhere.

OK, so here's a pic. The line I'm holding is the line coming from the actuator. As you can see, it's T'd off, and runs to the BOV and to the intake manifold

Could you link me to a thread that may help me out? I'm not sure what actions to take.

Also, I spotted that mini air filter on your valve cover. That needs to be corrected. Here is a link on why.

Thanks for the help. So where should the line off my actuator run?

Probably to your boost controller ie: factory bcs or aftermarket mbc/ebc. Either top of the radiator usually for aftermarket. Or left side of engine bay behind maf & under fuse box. Two nipples on it & sensor plug harness.

I feel like I forgot to tell you that there is a search function at the top of the page if you scroll up. Drop down the menu & specify for titles/body vs entire thread. Helps narrow down what you want. 10 secs for cooldown inbetween searches.

Thanks for the info. Yeah, I searched around for a while before I posted this. Found some similar threads but nothing exact.
