Wastegate Port / Control

[ptimmerm@mashtun.jpl.nasa.gov]

I see a vacuum port to the upper side of the wastegate on my TQC.
It is open to the atmosphere.  The car runns great.  Should there
be a hose to this port?  If it is unused, it offers an alternative
to wastegate springs as a boost controling mechanism.  A fertile
mind could easily do control via manifold pressure modulation.
I know some OEM applications that do electronic boost control via
this method.
