guessing you have a version 1-2 car and you have broke the small pipe off the resonator box before the turbo (top entry turbo) if you have then you can delete this with a delete pipe and the small hose from bottom of boost solenoid can vent to atmos 
on plus side it sounds so much better and the resonator is quite restrictive

Yes mate, it has a small vacum pipe connected to a nipple at the bottom and mine has snapped off. Dont suppose you know if this would adversley effect the running because I can only get to 3.5k revs at the mo without getting mad judder from what I think may be overboost. Literally just put new engine in and never drove the car before you see so nothig to compare to.

You can also plug up that hole from the broken nipple with silicon sealant or superglue.
It's in a low pressure region so it's not likely to come off.
As said above the hose that connects there can vent to atmosphere without any issues.

if your running OEM boost control you wanna put that pipe back on. Mine I put a screw into the broken hole, and I put a pipe connector into a hole I drilled. That way the hole is blocked and there is intake vacuum on the pipe to the boost controller.
but hopefully it wall all make sense when I take a closer look tommorow.

Meant you after market boost controller fooling the OEM one so raising boost level without the ecu having a hissy fit and boost cutting.

Ok yeah that does make sense, I was looking through the instructions for the controller and none of the setups mentioned connecting to original boost solenoid they all say to connect to the inlet. That said, there isn't anywhere left on the inlet for it to go so must have to be connected through the solenoid i suppose.
