Hi TDI Club,
I bought a B5.5 passat tdi knowing it had a P0299 and having read about it pretty thoroughly.
I have a potential culprit in the turbo outlet hose that doesn't look right- here is a picture I snapped. I'm thinking air may be leaking past the hose where the housing has a gap from the hose- but I don't know how this hose is supposed to seal, I haven't been able to find any pictures online.

To cover the bases, The engine is producing vacuum, which at idle smoothly moves the VNT lever to the stop and holds it there- registering about 20" of mercury.
Thanks!
