Obviously if the car was sluggish from the first time you drove it. You did not create the problem..

Just before you hook up the new hose to the alda. Blow on the end to make sure there is no obstruction in the over boost valve or the manifold connection. That line when functional does not really have constant air flow as such. It relays the air pressure from the manifold to the alda. By just compressing the air.

With that line open there would have been air flow. This might have included some of the egr garbage fed into the manifold going through that line. That increased the chances of soot buildup in the manifold fitting and the over boost protection valve.

So you just make sure that the system is still open by reducing the air pressure applied. Or just take the car for a short drive to make sure the sluggishness is gone. The engine was just simply fuel starved.
