Can anyone advise me if my hoses are connected correctly from the picture . During a starter motor repair, lots of hoses and pipes were removed then reinstated 3 weeks later but then had an immediate loss of power when engine is under load . Can't remember if the hose in question should be connected to the bottom or top outlet. Thanks in advance

What turbos are you running? That's not the standard location for the wastegate.

It looks ok to me from that picture.

If you want to check just pull the pipe off and pump it up with a bike pump. You don't need much pressure to see the actuator arm start moving and that'll tell you if its cracking under the positive boost pressure.
