Doing a pressure check I removed the turbo inlet tube, and capped off the turbo.

I removed the vacuum line off the vacuum pump and used that as an intake source and compressed air into there. I have air coming out of the other end of that vacuum line.

However for the life of me I cannot figure out where the other end is supposed to connect to. It is completely open and not connected to anything at the moment. I figured I might have accidentally removed it from it's original location.

At first I thought it might have gone to the pressure converter. But those vacuum lines are where they are supposed to go.

It is hard to see down there, and any help would certainly be appreciated.

Thanks.

 

It may help knowing which line exactly you are talking about.

Is it #10 in this pic?





Or is it #3 in this pic?

 

Basically is it the top or bottom line going to the vacuum pump that you're referring to?

 

Thanks Grizld700, this helped tremendously. I believe it was #3 in the send photo. Looks like it goes into #1 on the second diagram.

Thanks again for the pictures.

 

Your welcome!

BTW http://www.realoem.com/bmw/ is a VERY helpful catalog type site.

 

Great site for reference and pics. You can always use our site if you pop the p11 digit part # in and we have close up pics. Those vacuum lines.

Thanks again. That vacuum hose that connects from the vacuum pump all the way down into that plastic "box" or "tank" caused me to lose boost. Seems like my car is being back from whimpy to cute again.

Tell Kirill over at ECS that the guys at RallySport Direct miss him

 

Yep , thats the one, they can crack and sometime separate at the connections.

Cool I will let him know.

Thanks
