The previous owner of my car ran the wastegate signal line from the actuator to the top of the intake. See the attached pictures.
I believe the installation manual from BEGi says to run the line from the actuator to the compressor right next to the actuator.
Now the question I have is should the open connector on the compressor be sealed if not in use? I realize that may be a stupid question, but I have not seen it documented.
I did put a cap on the end, but I just want to make sure that is correct.
Thanks!

Yeah, that's not an ideal location, you want it about an inch or two forward. There's a sticky in the DIY turbo section titled "you don't need ebc" or something like that written by joe Perez that does a great job explaining the pros and cons of your locations, and one just before the throttle body. Which BTW, has no cons
