noob vacuum line ?...did do search
Picked up an 03 evo at the auction for my dd. Has some mods..HKS air cleaner sys, cams(dont know specs), adj cam gears, exhaust. I dont know much at all about these cars yet. Been reading online daily. I noticed two open vacuum line nipples, one on the wastegate actuator and one on the bottom of the turbo. There is a line from the BOV to the intake. I connected the two open ones and felt like I lost power?
I did a search and found a lot of different answers. Im wondering what I should do with this set up?
Oh and man these little cars fly!! Thanks for any help.

Im sure it did feel slower when you connected the lines, your now running far less boost at wastegate pressure. Keep the lines connected until you get an boost controller to keep boost under control.

Thanks. Which type of boost control will work best for me? I plan on getting a header and a bigger IC if that matters. Sorry if these questions are lame, I'm brand new to turbos
