Hey mate, the only pipe i can think of there is for your factory boost control/wastegate pipe. This transfers boost pressure to your wastegate to regulate boost. You must have this as your turbo will ultimately overboost and kill itself. You can tee off another pipe to maintain boost control. Doesnt really matter which pipe you tee off just as long as it is after turbo and gets the positive boost pressure!!! It really should have a provision for this but it is no big prob! Must be hooked up though. This tube tells your wastegate when to open to regulate boost, if you have an aftermarket boost controller etc it would be joined to this hose, but as i said, you can tap off any pressure line to have the same result. The nearer the turbo the better!!!!
