Default turbo ALOT louder with wastegate vac line off

was put on new filter today, and took of the vac line from wastegate to compressor cause it was in way, and forgot to put it back it back on , went for a drive , realised it was off (this on built engine). the main thing i noticed , before i even got to 4 psi.. the turbo sounds ALOT louder ,and i mean alot... car was more responsive to boost, spooled faster. i did pull over after that put vac line back on .. but i wonderd why the turbo acts like this without vac line on ?!? thx

Sounds like your wastegate was leaking early to me... If you have a manual boost controller, ditch it and get an electronic one. It will leave the wastegate CLOSED until full boost is reached, and the car should act a good bit more responsively.
