I'm still having air leak running issues with my TT and its begining to get a bit annoying now. :surrender: I've seen other people have removed the EGR/ aiv from their engines but how much more of this mess can i remove and how do i bypass it once its gone??

Heres a diagram i found online i have no idea what this all does as the only vac hose my other car has is from the distributer to the manifold. So i can only presume most of this can be binned.

 

 

Any help would be gratefuly appreciated i just want to drive it now.. :thumbup1:

I think you'll find that it matters a lot what you have on your car or have taken off / disconnected....

 

EBC will enable you to remove the old control units for your wastegate actuators.

BOV's, then no need for the recuirc valves.

and you know about the EGR & AIV

there is also the PRVR and vac tank...

 

if you use this site and type the unit you want to know about it has heaps on info.....

the EGR removal is a pig of a job for a novice.... have a day trip and take it to Jeff for an evaluation...

and try this....

Had a bit of time this evening so i bypassed the prvr not made a difference but i have found out from an aussie site its not needed neither is the aiv or the egr.

but in my tinkering i found a broken cable and presto i now have a boost gauge again on the dash, so a small victory there.

There are so many small vac hoses that are cracked or loose on the connections due to being stretched and worn. Maybe its not one leak but a few :blink:

Also an aussie site recomends dumping the carbon canister too i have the info on that I'll go for that when i have the weather as i have a series 2 bumper to fit so i can do both together.

The air tool is ok but i have no compressor as i have to work outside in a communal carpark so no power either. Would using an inflated tyre be too much pressure?

I'd say so.... better wait till you can do it somewhere with power of get a battery operated compressor... best of luck...

I have just noticed that where the exhaust has been changed to a full after market one, the AIV pipes to the exhaust have just been left hanging down they are not blocked off would this cause problems??

from my understanding....

 

if you haven't got cats then you don't need them, as long as the aiv actuator is disconnected it shouldn't be a problem ....

 

this might help...
