'79 911 Turbo issues?

So I just got my hands on a 79' 911 Turbo and have a few questions. First off the car is in decent shape, only 40k original miles, but it had been flooded slightly in the interior due to the previous owner leaving the car outside for some time with the windows slightly cracked. So the carpet is junk but besides that my main questions revolve around the engine.

Now on to my problems, while putting the car up on the lift and doing a once over I noticed there is a line missing from the wastegate. The line right off the top of the unit is non-existent. I'm looking all over the engine following the charge pipes etc. and haven't found any location that seems to be the connection for this. Where should I be looking to hook this up to, I'm assuming just as in any other turbo system it should go to a vac/boost source.


Now my next question is that I found what seems to be an auxiliary fuel injector down below the fuel distribution block. Is this suppose to be wired? as there is no connector attached to it and I can't find any loose wiring that would hook up to this injector.



My last question revolves around a misc. 2 pin connector I managed to find floating around on the right side of the engine compartment under the airbox. Any ideas what this is for or if it should be hooked up?



Thanks in advance, I'm sure more questions will follow. This car has no begun its transformation into a stock'ish track car, cage, modified suspension and stock engine for now.
