google the part of the engine that you have probs with and then selct an image that fits...you'll find a few that have been tagged and tell you whats what when you drag your cursor over them.

do you have an after market boost controler or any other modifications?
if it's the gubbins underneath the intake manifold that takes a feed from the intake manifold on then the vac pipe goes to the actuator...under the turbo...

Grab a camera on a mobile and take a few shots and post up. There as so many folk on here that have stripped 3sgte engines down and put back together that you will get your answers in no time!

State if its a rev1/2/3 tho.
We ALL make mistakes !!! :)
