Wastegate mod for more boost?????

Does anyone have any pics of the red line I unhook to get more boost. I know it is the redline on the wastegate but the only redline I see is an electrical line on the wastegate solenoid. I though I was looking for a red vacuum line. Anyone have any pics to help me out?

Theres only one redline ! Its a really skinny looking line with a little black thing on the end that slips on to a nipple on the wastegate.

There is only one red line going to the wastegate. Unplug it from the wastegate, then plug it on a bolt that it reaches too. BTW it fits perfectly on the cat tube clamp.

Ok I got it I can't believe I didn't see that and realize it before I think the sun was getting to me. Now I have another problem my ITP overboost isn't working at all as soon as I hit 22psi it throws my CEL and I have tried to adjust it one click at a time like it says but I haven't had any luck yet.

Scan for codes first to make sure it is the over boost code. It could be something else other then over boost.

Well with my mods my boost did go from about 22psi to about 26-27psi now with the wastegate unplugged.

I dont think its supposed to raise the boost anyways. But when I did it, there was a definite improvement in boost response.

It raised my boost by about 2 psi, its meant to decrease the spool up time for your turbo.
