    Boost is controlled by a computer. By disconnecting a hose you probably
    put the system into a state that the computer can not control.

    If you would like to experiment you might try adjusting the
    wastgate control rod. Search on "wastgate rod" below, to the right,
    to find posts on the do's and don'ts of messing with it.

    The best way for more boost would be an updated ECU controller.
    TME sells this as do others. You can also search on "dawes device"
    for a mechanical means of controlling the boost that a coupl of
    people have experimented with.
