Sounds like you mean hose #2. That is compressed air LEAVING the turbo compressor going thru the aftercooler and into the intake manifold. The only thing that “powers the turbo” is the stream of exhaust out of the exhaust manifold and into the turbo turbine. We are all here to help but you should really use all of the info on this website, and Google and/or buy a book and get a 100% understanding of all the workings of the engine as to what is what and what does what. it will pay dividends to your troubleshooting and understanding on where to look when things are not quite right and will help you digest what you read here and put it to practical use.
