I tore the vac line that's right off the DV. You know, the thin threaded one that runs back up to the engine; not the connection to the turbo outlet hose. I'm just wondering if anybody knows where this vac line goes, or if there's someone on here who has diagrams of where each vac line goes on the 1.8T ATW engine *COUGH* AUDITECH *COUGH*
Edit: I think it's the one that connects back into the turbo inlet. I'm not sure, a diagram would help!

Look at your hood when it's open. There should be a diagram showing where all the lines go.
I will search around some to though.

Thanks buddy. I'm running a straight BOV now, it sounds like a sequential. Super gay. And I can't spike past 8-10psi anymore. I think, on top of this, I have a major boost leak elsewhere.

Try fixing that vac line first. Did the line just come off or is it ripped? you can always follow the line to see where it goes. I know it goes over by the intake manifold.

It's the one that leads to the turbo inlet. It vanishes under the block, and it's one of those threaded ones that tends to fray alot, but has a rubber center, you know? I can definitely feel the tear, it's pretty fucked up.
Since there's some slack, I might just cut off the part that's torn and see if there's enough to pull down and re-secure it. If not, oh boy, vacuum line is so expensive, I might go bankrupt buying it

LOL. Yeah try that first... if it doesn't work pull out a flashlight and a mirror and see where that thing goes.

It goes from the dv, across the timing belt cover, over the alternator, and to a vacuum fitting underneath the intake manifold. It's tough as hell to get your hand up under there to change the vacuum line, but it can be done. If you can't get at it, you'll need to find someone with short forearms and smaller hands.
Yeah.. changed mine last week, its a pain in the a$$, plus you cut your hands up. Its actually easierif youtake the big intake hose off from the intake mani.
DV vac line?
