That's the idle air circuit, AAC and air reg connect here.

Cheers for that man, it had a hole melted in to it, i have taped it for the meanwhile. would a hole in it cause my car to run like crap?

Absolutely, you'll let unmetered air into the engine below boost, and let out tons of air on boost. Definitely would run like crap.

Ohh okay, because thats what it feels like its doing, its hitting 8 psi, but doesn't feel like its pulling at all. almost feels like its letting all the boost out somewhere. I have taped the hole really well until i get a replacement, but its still doing it.

What has been done to the black pipe that connects to that nipple?

That pipe connects (via the AAC and air reg) to the plenum so I doubt the engine would run unless the pipe has been blocked.

I followed it and its still hooked up to the plenum, it goes to a joiner that goes along the top of the back of the engine. The hole was melted by the external wastegate

So you're saying the hose end is open to atmosphere?

Under idle conditions, the throttle plate is effectively closed and the engine draws air via that black hose.

The AAC valve and the air reg are part of that system, which ends by connection to the plenum.

This means with an open hose, when idling the engine is eating unfiltered air and when under boost conditions, boost is escaping.

It's not too difficult to connect that hose to the "J" pipe as originally intended.

Yea it's still connected to the correct place it just had a hole melted into it. i taped it for the mean while

I see, that's not so hard then.

As a temporary measure I'd cut the hose at the burned part and sleeve it with a piece of steel tube/hose clamps until you can buy a suitable replacement.

The hose has to take heat and boost so tape won't cut it.

Ahh good idea, yea i'll do that tomorrow, i also realized my bov isn't going off, it just compresser surges. as i said earlier it makes 8 psi boost but doesn't pull like it is. When i had the gate hooked up wrong and it was over boosting the bov was going off.

    • Why are you so adamant on going M12? Why not follow Brad (GTSBoy) suggestion. You're talking moving from a 1/8" size, to a 1/2" effectively. 4 times bigger. Why skip the commonly available sizes in between? The bigger you go, the more likely you are to strip the threads out at a later date, as guaranteed, someone will put a huge spanner on the M12 and really tighten it up, and you're only in thin wall, so not a lot of threads to engage!
    • Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.
    • Probably gonna remove manifold and turbo. I’m not sure if I can get M12 x 1.5 air tight. Could use high temp Loctite 246 or something similar, but I don’t know. Maybe it’s just best to remove everything again and weld an 1/8NPT on there instead.
    • Yeah, saw the ratios, not impressed. Would like the punch I have in the first gears now. With those ratios it won't be the same.  Also want the h pattern gearing, or at least a quiet gear set that don't need to come apart for service each year. Looks like the only "reasonable" way Is a 8hp70 transmission, but where is the fun in that🤷‍♂️
