I don't have a digicam so I can't take a picture of my factory setup :(

That FIRST vacuum line goes to a T connector. One hose goes back to the wastegate that you can see and the other to a solenoid which regulates the amount of boost you're running.

Let me try to be clearer...

That hose connects to one part of a T connector, another part of the T-connector connects back to the Wastegate actuator (the big brass thing you can see below that hose in the picture) and the last part of the t-connector is connected to the solenoid that controls the amount of boost.

There "should" be a little brass restrictor (a ring with a hole in it) INSIDE that hose that's there
