Where does this hose go?
Ive just had the manifold and turbo off to have the wastegate ported and I am putting everything back on. I have everything related to the turbo and ducting back on except one hose. The hose is about 1/2 wide and it comes out behind the waterpump and drops down to the bottom of the engine in the front infront of the turbo. It has some thick black foam surrounding it at the bottom where it curves. Is this a water line ive missed connecting? Anyone have a pix of the fronts of their engines so I can use them for relation to mine? Any help would be greatly appreciated as id like to finish the car when I get home from work this afternoon. Thanks guys.

Are you talking about the hose that comes out of the backside of the waterpump? If so that is the turbo coolant line and connects to a barbed pipe that connects to your turbo.

thats what im thinking cause the hose does have the rubber foam on it. If this is correct it goes from the back of the WP housing to the BAC valve on the UIM then from the UIM to the top of the throttle body.

I believe you are correct....the bacv was missing a hose and i thought it was a vac hose that went to it. I didnt realise it was a coolant line. Im on my way out to look at it now...I will let yall know if that was it or not. Thanks guys i appreciate all your help.

yeah that was it guys. I got it all put back together but it took it a while to crank...after it cranked it smoked like a freight train lol. i have heard that is supposed to happen. When i finally got it to idle on its own it was revving up to 2600 rpms finally it stopped at
2000 rpms. Shortly after that it stalled out and I couldnt get it to crank again...it had a really bad fuel smell. I also had the radiator cap on the water pump elbow off so i could check the water while it was running and it started spewing water out after only a few minutes of running. Is there anything I should be checking inregards to the rpms? or is it just normal for it to do that after it has been sitting for a while? Thanks again for all the help.
