[QUOTE="metaman, post: 8332138, member: 23647"] [b]Version 1.2[/b] So even though the chances of any of the lines blowing off was slim at 14 PSI, I had the tie straps and the tie strap gun. [ATTACH=full]1055306[/ATTACH] So I decided to go ahead and tie strap all of the connections. I went out to do this and found that the hard vacuum line that I had capped and had been attached to the lower port on the actuator had come into contact with the EGR pipe. This melted this line in half. [ATTACH=full]1055307[/ATTACH] I decided to find out where it went to so I tugged on the end that goes up towards the back of the blower. I found that it actually ends up at the intake tube. It is the one on the left side of the intake tube in the center of this pic up near the connection to the throttle body. [ATTACH=full]1055308[/ATTACH] Since it would be so easy to get rid of this line, I went back to the auto parts store and got a cap that was big enough to go over that vacuum nipple on the intake tube. [ATTACH=full]1055309[/ATTACH] Then I started thinking about what to do with all of this hard line that I just pulled off of the car. I decided to use it in place of the larger diameter vacume hose that I had put between the FRPS and the boost bypass actuator previously. So I got out those two factory vacuum couplers that I had removed from the lines going to the boost actuator. [ATTACH=full]1055310[/ATTACH] Then I took the hard line that I had just removed from the car and trimmed it to about the same length as the vacuum tubing that I had previously installed. I then put the two factory connectors onto the ends of this peice of hard line and tie strapped the connections with the tie strap gun. You pretty much have to do this because there are not any nipples on the ends of the custom length hard vacuum line. [ATTACH=full]1055311[/ATTACH] Now I just removed the larger diameter vacuum tubing from the previous install and replaced it with the new custom hard line piece. After this I went ahead and tie strapped all of the connections. This is to prevent them from popping off during wide open throttle. Again, at my boost level it is probably not going to happen, but better safe than sorry. [ATTACH=full]1055312[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1055313[/ATTACH] Now the finished product matches up better with the rest of the birds nest of vacuum lines on the side of the blower. It also takes any possibility that the larger diameter line could somehow negatively effect the response the boost has on the FRPS and the boost bypass actuator. It probably wont make any difference, but it might. This was my other motive for swapping out the larger diameter vacuum hose for the hard line.
