This is not actually right. On a re-circulating valve like you will have on your model, the smaller hose is an integral part of the valve's working. A run of vacuum hose should run from that port up to the intake manifold. Check all the small (4mm) hoses that run off the intake manifold and see if any are not connected. A vac leak will lead to a high idle, poor running and increased fuel consumption, not to mention the car stalling. Some cars can compensate quite well, but best find the errant hose and re-connect it. Contrary to popular belief, the boost pressure is not the main force acting on the valve to "force it open". The vacuum line is the force that actually pulls the bung inside the valve. You can prove this by turning the valve around and putting it on the other way ... It will still work. In fact, on the later 9-3 Viggen model, the valve is actually fitted from the factory "the wrong way round". Take a look at this link: <http://dv.mistertam.com/7.htm> Aside from being a good resource for comparing popular market diverter valves, it shows in the table how the valves are best orientated. Notice the standard Bosch valve is best orientated "normally". How to fit in reverse: <http://dv.mistertam.com/5.htm> So ... You must have that vacuum line connected for the valve to work. <http://dv.mistertam.com/2.htm> >> I looked around the engine compartment and there is a small diameter >> pipe coming out of the right front of the turbo (as you're facing the >> front of the car) which doesn't have a hose connected to it.

That's the charge hose ( C ). You can follow the bottom picture to test your solenoid valve, not that we suspect anything wrong with it at the moment.
