Hey guys I recently removed the intake manifold off my 08 wrx and can’t figure out where the vacuum hoses in the pictures go. If someone can show me where they go or tell me that would be great.
Right by the intake
From this picture,it doesn't look as if you have the standard boost solenoid fitted given the white connector (electrical?) zip tied to the turbo pipe stub - it equates to OEM item 27 on the diagram
Standard OEM boost solenoid - no white connector
The stub (top picture,circled left ) is marked E on the drawing and connects to the duty solenoid (item 20) with hose also marked E on the diagram
Similarly the upper circled stub pipe is marked F and connects to the back port of the boost solenoid hose marked F on the diagram which appears as the open hose in this picture which seems to be on the wrong solenoid stub (should be the rear one?)

Okay I’ll take another look at the diagram and use what you said to try and connect them correctly. The white connector is for my power steering I’m going to re wire it too.

Now it begins to make sense not the best photos to work from.
Watch the vid at about 1.44 onwards when he removes the boost solenoid..............
I'd love to get the link on this. It helped me alot. I found out B broke off from 16. Now I just need to find out what B and 16 are actually called
