wastegate to solenoid hose and BOV
I've searched and found some confusing data.
I have a non-sequential setup. I have the stock hose /w pill from the turbo to the wastegate.
The hose that leaves the wastegate use to go to the wastegate solenoid. It now goes no where. The previous owner had it hooked to a hardline but that didn't connect to anything. I've read (and seen) the push side (to solenoid) should be capped. Is this correct? How will this change the behavior of my car. I'm currently boosting around 10psi with dp,mp,apexi n1/silencer, petit ecu, apexi intake, street port motor.
I also read that the solenoid should be capped as well? Is this necessary?
Finally, has anyone come to a conclusion about the stock bov (s /w non-seq)? Could someone hook up a vacuum/boost gauge and see if there is vacuum?

I plugged up the push side and the boost is now linear. I have more average power under the curve, as they say. Before, turbos build boost quickly to 5 psi then jumped to 10. Now it's just smooth from 0-10. Sweet!
I just kept the wastegate solenoid unplugged no/vac cap.
I think my gas mileage is starting to go
