MTDI Where Does This Pipe Go?

Whilst sorting out an unrelated issue I came across an unattached pipe which originates from the turbo. I assume it originally connected to the N75 but, as my engine is now mechanical, I guess this line is no longer required. Am I right to assume this or has it unattached from somewhere? I've had a good root around but I can't find anywhere it might have come loose from. The conversion was originally done by Russel at Syncronutz and if anyone has his new contact details in SA maybe you could pass this query on. Thanks for your help.

Hi Robert
Sorry can't quite see where that pipe it connects to goes to behind inlet. Any EGR? Presume a fixed vane (bog std) turbo
It's possible is an atmospheric feed .

Maybe PM SyncroAndy who knows more about these things.

Hi Harry

Don't think its got anything to do with the EGR. Since posting I've spoke to Russel and he says it's a breather pipe for the turbo. It should have a filter at the end of it but its gone missing at some point.

That'll be an atmospheric feed then for the back of the wastegate's aneroid capsule...
..only Syncros have them :)
