[urq] Upper Wastegate Hose on '83 Ur Quattro

[Charles Baer]

There better not be any flow out of that port, unless you have a torn
diaphragm.  When the wastegate opens, it is letting engine exhaust bypass
the turbine.

I concur with the senator from Kaleefohnia, the top port is for a reference
pressure to balance against the IM pressure.  Feeding pressure into the top
port with a schrappnelknobben delays wastegate opening by lowering the
pressure differential on the diaphragm when boost increases.  Tapping into
the pre-turbo intake tract will increase the boost pressure 
differential, admittedly
by a small amount, and open the wastegate earlier than it would with the
port vented to atmosphere.
