BOOST SOLENOID ?????

My 94 wrx has the boost solenoid pipes circulating back into it so the soleniod is doing nothing. Can anyone explain why this has been done by the previous owner.

Is it running a manuel or electric boost controller as apposed to the standard boost solenoid?

As burbling has said, this has probably been done to stop muck getting in the solenoid as it is not being used anymore and removing it completely would cause the ecu to spit up an error.
