what is this
ok i got my 10 plate in and notices there was no Vacume T on the back f the pump. I checked the turbo wastegate and it has a vac line comming off it but it is pluged with a bolt. What is this doing to the wastegate? What is better the boost elbow that came with the plate or this plug off?

As long as your boost doesn't exceed 35 psi very often just leave the wastegate line plugged.
