Evo 8 boost leak



hey guys so my evo had been acting up really bad and I'm pretty new to them. I thought it was the MAF sensor and that helped but I can tell now when I am hitting boost I have a bad boost leak. I did find this. It looks like my boost solenoid is missing a tube. But I thought where it went to it looks like they have both teed together. I know it's really hard to tell from the pictures. I'm just wondering where the hose goes that it seems like I am missing. Thank you!

Or also I see people put a cap over it. Do I need to just do that?

no that one is the one that is on. It ended up being the one for the intake to the boost solenoid. And I'm assuming it hasn't been on there since I got the car. I put it on. But it didn't fix anything. Ugggg. I give up
