Help with OEM boost control solenoid hoses

My transmission on my 2008 MR has failed; Stuck solenoid code. I need to put the stock boost control solenoids back in the the car so I can take it to the dealer. It pretty straight forward but I just want to confirm the vaccuum hose attachement to the waste gate actuator. The hose has a tee: one end goes to the waste gate actuator and the other to the turbo pressure. This is my assumption:

1) tube with black end and containing the pill goes to the waste gate actuator
2) tube with red end goes to the turbo pressure

Is this right?

thanks for the diagram. It shows both the hoses to the turbo exit pipe and the waste gate actuator as being black. They are both black but one has a red marking on the end and the other hose contains the pill.

I don't see red marks on either of the hoses that go to the wastegate or turbo exit pipe. The only line with a red mark that I see is the one that goes to the solenoid and I thought that was the one that contains the pill. Mine appears to match the diagram in the manual, but I'm far from an expert so hopefully someone who knows for sure will chime in. Sorry to not be more help.
