After removing and blanking off the EGR last week I decided to rip out all the unnecessary vac lines from the old SOTF and EGR, I used Rhanagars post as a reference, which proved very useful.

I never had the quick warm up system on mine which made it easier and I didn't have the number six vac line, which I guess is tied to the quick warm up.

How it looks now

Alternator blanked

Pipe from inter cooler to fuel pump

All the junk that came out

A well spent hour and my brakes are keener now, so the vac pipes must have been perishing somewhere.

Nice. I noticed you used gasket sealant. If you look at the EGR's in your picture you can see they are bolted to a little manifold. Take them off the manifold and there is a metal gasket which is a perfect fit to go between the blanking plate and the inlet openings. Wink

I've used the original gaskets and sealed both sides, belt and braces Very Happy

and the alternator blank means I have an easy vac supply for the next time I flush my brake fluid without having to split an equal tee in Cool
