It's for the twin-scroll control system. The flap closes off one of the turbo's scrolls (the passages to the turbine wheel) at low rpm to increase gas velocity and hence spool the turbo faster (less lag). At 2700rpm it opens to allow both scrolls to flow.
With the hose disconnected the flap remains open. Assuming the solenoid is still in place on the vac rack and is functioning correctly, if you reconnect the actuator your turbo should spool up faster at low revs.
