Check Valve Help. Stock Turbos
I found this vacuum line disconnected and taped off. I know it is a check valve.Can someone explain to me whether I should keep it taped up or should I reconnect it ? Thanks

Thanks for the response. Just curious. What would happen if I left it taped off and why would someone tape it up?

It probably wouldn't function correctly. Someone was probably just too dumb or too cheap to fix it correctly.
