Yes, under the turbo, its on the turbo pedistal... The red "wire" is a red line, it runs boost pressure to the turbo wastegate accuator when the PCM requests it.

sorry the red line. I have seen on some threads people said you could unplug that line. I do want some easier fixes for problems and will work up performance as money allows but I also want my baby to last. Still trying to find the balance between performance and reliability. I am such a newb!

un pluging the red line and pluging it over one of the IC boot bolts is a common mod that might give you a bit more boost, does it help any... doubtful, but so long as you stay under 28-30# boost you should be fine.

The wire behind is... Not the red line...
