Runs like a Rocket!

My 300D 2.5T has been feeling anemic. Gutless. Like a dog with an MB star strung to its snout.

Turns out two vac lines to my turbo were cracked.

The thing now runs like a rocket!

This engine has vacuum lines running to the turbo? I wonder what they do or control? Or would this be the wastegate hose?

Dunno Ken. Perhaps someone with better bonafides can chime in. All I know is I now have a different feeling about my MB. Like smooth said, it's Snoopy dance time.
