Boost issues(with pictures)

Hey all,

Was messing around under the hood today trying to fix a rattle from bov hitting my strut bar. Came across a disconnected hose that comes off maybe the boost controller? then found missing hose on the turbo inlet. Could this be causing boost issue, I have been noticing weird boost, issues, surging, bucking, car seem to lag at time's then all of the sudden bam power.



and then




Thanks in advance guys

Matt

Its the solenoid Return line im guessing or thats what i got off of the instructions i was reading when i installed my cobb turbo inlet pipe, im assuming it would be important since the solenoid has to do with controlling boost from my understanding. not sure if im right but.... it was worth a shot

Do you have a vacuum line connected to the Samco Inlet tube? And i am not talking about the hose that comes off the valve cover. If you do not have a vacuum line that connects to the intake, then thats where that hose goes to. I think that line is important. It is the feed line I THINK. The line connected to the other side of the turbo outlet is the bleeder line. Or maybe they are both bleeder lines. I dont remember.
