See the nipple just below the rubber elbow? Remove the rubber nipple and just run a short length of 4mm vac line between between those two. Secure with zip ties and your done.

It wouldn't blow up the motor but it would limit you to 9 psi. It should feel a lot quicker after this, assuming everything else is upto par. I would highly recommend you replace all the rest of you vacuum lines while your at it, the rest vcan't be in much better shape and they could could you motor to blow up.

Nope I disagree. With that particular line remove the wastegate would see NO pressure and therefore would not open. boost would be controlled by your right foot.

Now the second part is right. Go ahead and change ALL the lines. Do it now and save a headache later.
