Vacuum pumps

Volkswagen TDIs use a vacuum pump driven off the camshaft.

They use the vacuum for power brakes and for the N75 valve to control either:
max. boost via the wastegate of the turbocharger (older TDIs)
or
changing the angle of the vanes in the VNT turbocharger (variable nozzle turbocharger)
