removing emmision vacuum lines

94talonawd · 10-11-2005

i have a question. when i remove these 4 lines. do i just plug up the 4 ports on the tb and just leave the 4 vacuum lines dangling?

Remove them instead of just leaving them hang. If you need a good reference for a boost gauge or controller, the "P" port works well.

wait... so i am supposto rip off all the lines from my engine bay?

Just leave the important ones, BCS, BOV, Wastegate, FPR, etc...

There was a diagram from Taboo that explained what needed to stay and what could go, but I can't seem to find it right now.

I saved these off Taboo's site before he skipped town. The first picture is what the stock system looks like. Pictures 2 is what it will look like after you remove the unnecessary junk. Picture 3 is optional. Hope that helps a little. It's pretty simple. And no don't need to keep those dangling hoses in there. When I did mine, I just ripped out all the unneeded hoses and threw them right in the trash. Good luck with it.

hey i noticed the ecaportation canister will be removed. wont that affect gas mileage? cuz my gas is really bad right now. i only get 200-225 per tank, thats like 17-18 mpg.

No, but removing EGR can make your gas mileage worse. 1G AWDs get bad gas mileage not matter what though. 7.8:1 compression ratio, AWD drivetrain, and heavy car for a 4 cylinder equals bad gas mileage.

With all the emissions removed, I was averaging around 25-27mpg on the freeway on my trip from AZ up to Minneapolis. I dunno if that's good or bad to you, I didn't mind it.

I would keep the can if I were you, I took mine out and gas fumes vent into my enigine bay......normally thats not a problem (no fire yet) the problem is if you keep your car in the garage, it can get really stinky

i hope no one uses that horrible catch can diagram

94talonawd · 10-26-2005

do you guys think that i can just plug up that chamber so the fumes cant escape?

**Shane@DBPerformance** · 10-26-2005

No, that catch can diagram assumes that the catch can has a breather vent on it.

GVR-4579 · 10-28-2005

hmm well i did think of that, but i would still rather have a vaccum line hooked to the catch can somewhere

is this simalar to 1g? because im also looking to get rid of all my vacume lines(or the ones that arnt neccesary). if not, and if someone has a diagram like the one above if you could post it that would be cool...

thanks
