Turbo Question urS6 1996 Tame Tech?

[bigtalljim]

On top of my turbo is I assume the wastegate/dumpvalve remote from main turbo housing.
On the side facing the Airbox is a nozzle of some description. On the sport Quattro this has a pipe attached to it, and some other cars I have looked at.

On mine no pipe.

Can anybody explain and advise?

Mine wasn't connected either. Someone did explain why once, but I can't remember and won't guess as i'll get ripped to bits as is the PH way.

ditto! I have seen a dozen or so ABY/AAN bays none have this connected to anything. Guessing its the same wastegate from previous versions of the 5cyl turbo and something that wasnt needed for the AAN. Maybe the ur guys can answer this? or indeed tame tech.

Jim off the side of the wastegate, useful link below, if you havent seen it.

I never really see these cars, too old to be at the main dealer, But a mate of mine had one and it had nothing connected to that pipe either. It looks like its the main wastegate connection but the is infact a much bigger pipe woth a proper union on the end.

I dont beleive there is anything supposed to be connected to it.

It isn't supposed to have anything connected to it. It is there to allow air to move freely and to test the diaphragm which lives inside - if it doesn't hold a vacuum it needs replacing.
