Need help after air pump removal

I have recently removed the air pump off my car. I have a mid-pipe fitted ,but still have air/exhaust coming from the pipe on the car near the secondary turbo intake .Why is this so ?

only reason air/exhaust could be coming from that pipe that i can think of is a failed or missing diaphragm from where the ACV meets the LIM, it just sits in the LIM in a small lip there and keeps exhaust from being fed back into the smog pump. you could just try to find a cap for it, the air probably shouldn't be hot enough to melt it or just get a block off plate and remove the ACV completely.

there are 2 lines that deviate from the intake piping, you might have connected up the wrong line? since the air pump line is right next to the other one. iono just a guess.
