Default Air leaking from hose off of turbo....Supra.....what is the hose for?

I haven't seen it, it's my neighbors and he has it at a friends right now (blown head gasket).

It is stock so, anyone have an idea what the hose would be for?

Tell him to check that one bolt, you know, the one that's in that one place in the engine bay...that would probably fix it.


What'll they think of next,

I am sorry that I came out with little explanation however,

I was wondering what the hose could possibly be for?

Blow off? Why would it be a rubber/silicone hose?
Waste gate.....nope those are fed back into the exhaust via the down pipe.
Coolant.....leaks air.
Oil....again leaks air.

ANd I am unsure if stock supras come with intercoolers. If so, again, why a rubber hose.
