Sooo I always assumed my current T2 had a BOV, previous owner has fitted a seperate boost gauge, & has run an extra hose from the base of the standard pipe coming off the turbo. This hose connects up to a small valve looking thing, about the size of a spark plug, which just sits in the engine bay. When driving the car makes what I always thought was a typical bov type sound, so now wondering if that noise is in fact the Turbo fan getting thrashed, or if the wastegate control thing is buggered...?

If fitting a BOV, it should go in the middle of the pipe in the middle of this pic yeah? top of engine to intercooler..
